Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Hey, I've noticed my mom has these greenish patches on the upper parts of her thighs, and I'm really worried about what they might be. Can you tell me what could be causing this and how we might be able to treat it?

Accepted Answer

Greenish patches on the skin could be a sign of a fungal infection such as tinea versicolor. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, she can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. It's also important to keep the affected area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've been dealing with acne issues and had been using clin3 clindamycin nicotinamide gel on my face for about four years. I stopped using it for about 23 weeks to try out some natural treatments, but my skin reacted badly since it's really sensitive ...

Accepted Answer

Acne Management: For managing acne long-term, its essential to use a consistent treatment plan that works for your skin. If youve been using Clin3 successfully for years, discuss with your dermatologist whether you should resume it or try an alternative that may be less irritating.

Patch Test: If you're trying any new treatment (natural or over-the-counter), always do a patch test on a small part of your skin first to check for any allergic reactions.

Question 6

I'm dealing with mild acne and my dermatologist put me on a sebamed facewash and nioret nanogel for nighttime use. He also recommended the ansolar gel cream sunscreen, but it's quite pricey. I'm wondering if there's a more affordable sunscreen option...

Accepted Answer

For a cheaper alternative to Ansolar Gel Cream, consider:

1. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Sunscreen ( 500)
2. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen Milk ( 1,200)
3. Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ ( 800)

When choosing a sunscreen to use with Nioret Nanogel:

1. Opt for a non-comedogenic (oil-free) sunscreen.
2. Select a physical sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) for gentle, effective protection.
3. Ensure the sunscreen is fragrance-free to minimize irritation.

Consult your dermatologist before making any changes to your skincare routine.
