I had minor skin surgery and my doctor recommended a CBP test. The results show my RBC and RDW are high while MCH, MCV, and MCHC are lower than normal. I don't have any concerning symptoms and consider myself healthy should I be worried about these results?

Your RBC and RDW being high, along with low MCH, MCV, and MCHC, might suggest some mild anemia or other factors affecting red blood cells. Since you're not experiencing symptoms, its likely not a serious concern, but it's a good idea to follow up with your haematologist to understand the context of these results.

I've been using Dremz ultra cream for post-inflammatory pigmentation for about two weeks now. I'm wondering if it's okay to keep using it for a longer period of time, and how would I know when to stop? Also, are there any side effects if I suddenly stop using it? Could you explain all this to me in detail?

Dremz Ultra cream, containing ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, and niacinamide, is typically used for 2-3 months to address post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH); using it for an extended period may lead to skin irritation, dryness, or increased sensitivity; to avoid rebound hyperpigmentation, gradual tapering of the cream is recommended when stopping, such as reducing frequency or switching to a maintenance product, and side effects from sudden cessation are unlikely, but may include mild skin irritation or recurrence of PIH.

I'm experiencing some itchiness in my private area, especially when I'm working. I wear loose-fitting innerwear, but the itchiness is still there. Could this be something serious, and how should I deal with it?
