I'm experiencing this really frustrating full body itching that has turned into black marks. I saw a doctor, and they mentioned it might be because of dry skin. I've tried using lotion, ointments, and even tablets, but they only seem to help while I'm using them. As soon as I finish the course, the itching comes back. Can you help me understand what's going on or suggest something that might work better?

So, my wife and I have been using Panderm Plus cream for the last five days, and it's made our skin really glowing, but we're a bit worried. Is it actually safe to keep using it?

Panderm Plus cream, containing clobetasol propionate and miconazole nitrate, is generally considered safe for short-term use (up to 2 weeks) for skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and fungal infections, but long-term use can lead to skin thinning, hormonal imbalances, and other side effects, so it's essential to follow the recommended usage, consult your doctor if you have concerns, and consider alternative, gentler skincare options for maintaining glowing skin.

I'm using permethrin cream for scabies and I've already applied it once over my body. Should I put it on again soon, or is it better to wait a few days before reapplying? Should it be applied continuously or is there a certain timeline to follow? I'm just not sure how often I should be using it.

apply for some days

My wife came down with chicken pox back in late November, and we noticed the pox marks are fading, but it's happening really slowly. I'm starting to worry since it's been over two months now, and I'm not sure if these marks are ever going to completely disappear. Should we see a doctor about this, or is it better to just keep using coconut oil and let things heal naturally? We're just a bit concerned and would appreciate some guidance on what to do next.
