I'm dealing with some really frustrating itching that's been going on for about 10 days now. I've tried antibiotics and Atarax tablets, but they haven't helped at all. The problem is, these rashes have appeared in some private areas, and I feel really uncomfortable about going to a hospital because I'm not sure how to show them. Do you have any advice on what I could do about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin rash or allergic reaction. Since the medications you have tried have not been effective, I recommend trying an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Additionally, you can apply a topical hydrocortisone cream to the affected area twice daily for relief. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with lichen planus, which appeared on my foot a couple of years ago. Back then, Allegra 180 mg and Halox S ointment worked for me, but now it's flared up on my hands and face. I'm really worriedespecially since it's on my face. Is there any advanced treatment or maybe even surgery that could offer a permanent solution? Also, are there any lifestyle changes I should consider? It's starting to stress out not just me but my whole family. Could really use some advice here.
Lichen planus can be challenging to treat, but there are options available. For the recurrence on your hands and face, you can try using Tacrolimus ointment along with Allegra 180 mg tablets. Tacrolimus ointment can help reduce inflammation and itching on the affected areas. Additionally, you can continue using Halox s ointment for relief. There is no high-end treatment like surgery to permanently cure lichen planus, but lifestyle changes can help manage the condition. Avoiding triggers such as stress, certain medications, and allergens can help prevent flare-ups.

I'm really struggling with a skin fungal infection that's affecting different parts of my body, even my nails. There's this thick, whitish growth on my toenail and I've used all sorts of antifungal creams for what feels like forever, but nothing seems to fully get rid of it. It's really frustrating. Do you have any advice on what might work or why this is happening?
Having skin fungal infection in different areas of your body, including your nails (whitish thick nail of your foot), can be challenging to treat. To effectively treat fungal infections, especially on the nails, oral antifungal medications are often necessary. I recommend speaking with your doctor about prescribing you oral antifungal medication such as Terbinafine. Additionally, using topical antifungal creams like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) or Miconazole (brand name Monistat) can help in conjunction with the oral medication. Remember to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
