I'm concerned about using Placentrex gel on my baby's hand burn. He's just 1 and a half years old. Are there any side effects I need to be aware of?

It's appropriate and good to use, avoid scratching the affected area.

I've been dealing with scabies for half a year now and it's super frustrating. I tried some cream that starts with an L, but I had an allergic reaction to it. Then I used the Derbac lotion, like, four times, and it still hasn't worked. I even called my doctor and they said there's nothing else they can prescribe. Is there really nothing else I can do? My skin is a mess from all the scratching, and even anti-itch creams aren't helping. What should I do?

I occasionally get rashes in my private areas, and this time they are really itchy. Could you let me know what might be going on and what I can do about it?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively.

I've had Fox Fordyce for 8 years and it's been hell with the constant itching only corticosteroid creams give me relief. Would surgically removing all my armpit sweat glands cure this condition? I'm desperate for a permanent solution since creams just manage symptoms.
