Question 1

I'm a bit worried about my left hand. My fingers have become really cracked and dry, to the point where they burn and bleed, and it only happens during the winter months. The weird thing is, it's just my left hand and not my right. I've used eczema lotion, and it helps a bit if I slather it on before bed, but my fingertips end up feeling like a cat's paw pad, almost like I don't have fingerprints. I do have mild psoriasis on my scalp and back, so I'm wondering if this could be related or something else entirely. Since it started last year around this time, and now it's happening again, I'd love some insight into what might be going on. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing a condition known as hand eczema, which can be exacerbated by psoriasis. To help with the dryness, cracking, and discomfort, I recommend using a prescription-strength corticosteroid cream like Clobetasol (0.05%) twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion multiple times a day to keep your skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your hands from harsh chemicals and wear gloves when doing any tasks that involve getting your hands wet. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm getting a little concerned about some lumps I discovered on my back above my waist. They've been there for about 3 years now. I spoke to a doctor earlier, and they thought they were just fat lumps, but I'm starting to worry. Could these lumps be something more serious like cancer, or might they cause other problems for me down the line?

Accepted Answer

it not be a cancer

Question 3

I'm really struggling with severe acne on my face and scalp, and the pain is unbearable, especially at night. My doctor put me on ciplox 500 and sotret 20 mg. I understand that sotret might make my acne worse before it gets better, but I'm wondering if I can switch from ciplox 500 to minoz 100 since minoz has worked well for me in the past. I just want to find a permanent solution to this acne because the pain and swelling, especially on the left side of my face, are really tough to deal with. What do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

For your acute acne, your doctor prescribed Ciplox 500 (ciprofloxacin) and Sotret 20 mg (isotretinoin).

While Minoz 100 (minocycline) may have been effective for your acne in the past, it's essential to follow your doctor's current prescription and guidance.

That could be premature greying of hair which is reversible,no need to worry consume balanced diet and maintain healthy life style.
