I'm dealing with an itching issue on my lower back that's been going on for about 2 months now, and I've also noticed some rashes in that area. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this and what I can do to alleviate it. Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin condition such as contact dermatitis or eczema. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allI've been dealing with this black scar on my upper lip ever since I waxed it five months ago, and it's starting to worry me. I've tried using Mederma SPF 30 cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I've attached an image of the scar. Could you recommend a good cream or medicine that might work?

I've got this thin light black-brown line right in the middle of my left thumb, and I dont feel any pain or itching from it. I cant recall injuring my thumb, though. I talked to a doctor, but not a Dermatologist. He guessed it was some fungal infection, so I took medicine for a week. The line hasnt disappeared or gotten darker, but the doctor said it looked slightly lighter and told me not to worry about it. It doesnt appear on any other fingers on my hands or feet. Should I be concerned about this line? Should I get a second opinion, maybe from a Dermatologist? Is it something that needs urgent attention?
That could be due stress or pressure induced pigmentation,no need to worry unless it does progress otherwise u can ignore it.

I've been using Nivea lip balms and Ponds cold cream for my chapped lips, but they only seem to help for a short while. Every two or three days, my lips go back to being chapped, and sometimes even bleed. The skin just keeps peeling. Do you have any suggestions for home remedies or medications that could help with this? I'm really looking for something more effective.
That could be Fungal infection or Vitamin Deficiency, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
