I'm dealing with bouts of anxiety, and it seems like even the smallest things can set it off, making my heart race. I'm currently taking Panazep LS at night and Buspin 10 twice a day. Do you have any advice on how I can better manage these anxiety symptoms?

Keratosis pilaris: A skin condition characterized by rough, dry patches and ingrown hairs.

Seborrheic dermatitis: A skin condition causing scaly, itchy patches.

Cysts: Blocked pores or ingrown hairs can cause cysts.

Home Remedies and Self-Care

Exfoliate regularly: Gently exfoliate the affected area with a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs).

Keep the area clean: Wash the affected area with a mild soap and lukewarm water.

Apply warm compresses: Soak a clean cloth in warm water, wring it out, and apply it to the affected area to help bring the cyst to a head and encourage drainage.

Avoid scratching: Try to resist scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation and infection.

Medical Treatments

Topical creams or ointments: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil may help alleviate symptoms.

Oral antibiotics: If the cysts are infected, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics to help clear the infection.

I've been experiencing dreams every single day, and sometimes they get really scary. When I wake up from these, I feel so restless and tired, like I haven't slept at all. This has been happening since I was a kid, but after my dad passed away when I was 23, the dreams got much worse. He would often appear in my dreams and I would cry. Although it's not as intense now, I still have this issue with dreams every day, even if I take a nap during lunch. It affects me so much that I just feel exhausted all the time. I've never talked to a doctor about this before, but I'm starting to really worry. Could you please help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing vivid dreams or even sleep disturbances, which can be exacerbated by emotional stress, such as the loss of your father. This is quite common, and your restless feelings upon waking could be linked to disrupted sleep cycles. It might help to speak to a healthcare professional about this, as they can offer strategies or treatments to improve your sleep and emotional well-being.
