Question 1

I've been dealing with scabies for the past 23 weeks, and it's causing a lot of itching, especially at night. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure what to do next. Is there any advice or treatment you could recommend to help relieve this itching?

Accepted Answer

For scabies treatment, consider Permethrin 5% cream (e.g., Scabex or Elimite): apply a thin layer from neck to toes, leaving it on for 8-12 hours before washing off, and repeat the treatment in 7-10 days to ensure elimination of mites and eggs;

Question 2

My doctor found a sebaceous cyst on my upper back and suggested surgery are there other ways to treat it or is surgery the only option? I'm a bit nervous about going under the knife and wondering if less invasive methods could work

Accepted Answer

Excision of the cyst is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I've been using Getlite cream with hydroquinone and mometasone for the last two years. Now my skin's gone really white, but when I try to stop using the cream, my skin gets darker, even worse than before. Im worried its not good to keep using it long-term because of potential problems. I'm really hoping to stop using this cream. How can I wean off of it and keep my skin looking healthy without going back to how it was? A neighbor, who's a pharmacist, recommended it, but I'm not sure what to do. Any advice on maintaining my skins glow once I stop this cream?

Accepted Answer

Dermat opinion.

I tried using Veet hair removal cream and accidentally got a burn near my genital area. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what to do to help it heal. Can you suggest any treatments or over-the-counter medicines that might help soothe the pain and irritation? I'm pretty worried about it.

Kozicare cream is advised.Side-effects include itching and hypersensitivity reactions
