Question

I've been experiencing some really intense itching on my fingers and toes, and I just found out it's Dyshidrotic eczema. Do you have any treatment suggestions or tips on how to manage this condition? It's been really uncomfortable, so any advice would be appreciated.

Dyshidrotic eczema can be treated with topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol propionate cream applied twice daily for 2 weeks, followed by once daily for 2 weeks. In addition, you can use emollients like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion to keep the skin moisturized. If the itching is severe, you can take oral antihistamines such as Loratadine 10mg once daily. If there is any sign of infection, antibiotics like Cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days may be necessary.

Question

I've been dealing with an infection that keeps popping up on the back of my head, right on the scalp. I usually use soframycin, and it clears up in about 3 to 4 days, but then it just reappears after maybe 1 to 2 months. I'm trying to figure out what's causing this and what precautions I should be taking to prevent it from coming back. Any insights you could share?

Question

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been using iwin 200 mg, Dezlorid 5mg, and ebernate cream for about 40 days. They helped at first, but my symptoms came back after finishing the course. I tried the same medication for another week, and it eased off, but now it's back again. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution. What do you recommend?
