I'm dealing with this ongoing issue of frictional eczema, and I'm really unsure about the best medication to use. Could you advise me on what would work best in managing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For Frictional Eczema, consider over-the-counter (OTC) topical treatments like hydrocortisone cream (1%) to reduce inflammation, calamine lotion or aloe vera gel to soothe and moisturize the skin, and zinc oxide paste to protect the affected area; if symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for prescription-strength treatments, such as topical steroids or immunomodulators, and guidance on wound care and prevention strategies.

I'm experiencing this prickling sensation and a lot of itching on my hands near my wrists, legs, and even on my back. It's really uncomfortable, especially during the summer. Could you suggest some remedies I could try to get some relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing heat rash, also known as prickly heat. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using calamine lotion on the affected areas to soothe the itching and prickling sensation. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help reduce itching. Make sure to stay cool and hydrated, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating to prevent further irritation.

I'm dealing with this painful boil or skin inflammation right on my hip line. It's not filled with pus, but it's really hard and hurts a lot, making it tough for me to walk properly. I've tried putting tbact on it overnight and I'm taking roxid, but nothing seems to help. What should I do?
