I'm dealing with some serious itching in my butt crack, and it's driving me crazy. Living in Mumbai, the humidity makes me sweat a lot, especially down there. I also have thick body hair, which doesnt help. Even touching it lightly causes a painful burning feeling. Any advice on what could help?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Canesten) twice a day in the affected area. Keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose cotton underwear to allow for better air circulation. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allHey, so I've been having this issue where my skin gets all red and there's this burning feeling whenever I use Sofradex cream. Ive been using it for some skin problems, but these side effects are really uncomfortable. I'm 27 and just wondering if there's something else I can use that won't do this to my skin. Any ideas?
Stop the medication, u can use clopivate cream for local application for 7 days, any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.

Can I use eumosone m cream on my face? A dermatologist suggested I use it for 20 days on my nose to help with sebaceous filaments, which haven't improved even after trying antibiotics and moisturizers. I'm just wondering if it's okay to use it like that.
Yes you can use it follow your doctors advice

My mom's been using Medisalic ointment during the winter months, and she's noticed that brown spots start showing up on her face. It's weird because she uses the same ointment in the summer and doesn't get these spots. Her skin's also pretty dry. Could you help us figure out why this might be happening? We're really puzzled about what's going on.
The brown spots may be due to the combination of medication, winter dryness, and increased sun sensitivity. Protecting the skin with sunscreen, using the ointment sparingly, and ensuring proper hydration can help manage this issue. If the problem persists or gets worse, its always a good idea to seek further advice from a dermatologist to tailor the treatment specifically to her skin type.
