I'm dealing with pityriasis rosea and I'm really worried about what foods could make it worse. Is there anything specific I should be avoiding? Also, are there certain foods that might help manage it better? Would appreciate any advice!

I've been having these really itchy rashes on my skin for a while now. I saw a dermatologist and she mentioned it was a mild infection, so I took ebast 10mg for 20 days like she suggested. But the thing is, the rashes keep popping back up. It's been going on for around 4 months, and I'm starting to wonder if just taking antihistamines is the right approach. The second I stop taking ebast, the rashes come back after just 2 days. Im just not sure who I should talk to for a deeper look into what's causing this. What could be causing these rashes, and how do we figure out the right treatment?

Antihistamines are generally safe for long term consumption. If stopping the medicaitons causes your symptoms to recur, it may be best to get further evaluation done and ascertain your allergic triggers. Consult an Immunologist to get a more detailed treatment plan.

I'm noticing some kind of white powder on my head, and I'm pretty sure it's not dandruff. I've tried a bunch of remedies, but nothing seems to help. My scalp feels really itchy, especially when I go from a cool place to a warmer one. What could this be, and how can I make it better?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection on your scalp, such as tinea capitis. I recommend using an antifungal shampoo containing ketoconazole. You can try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to leave the shampoo on your scalp for 5 minutes before rinsing off. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like fluconazole, prescribed by a doctor, to help treat the infection from the inside. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment.

I've been wondering if using Flutivate cream on my face could help with growing facial hair. Is it actually safe to apply it for that purpose, or could there be any side effects I should know about?
