I'm having this issue where my right buttock gets really itchy sometimes, and when I touch it, it feels like there's a mosquito bite there, even though I know it's not. The skin looks normal and isn't dry, which is confusing me. Any quick remedies or creams you can suggest to help with the itching?

sounds like you may be experiencing some form of skin irritation or allergy on your right buttock. To help relieve the itching and discomfort, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine cream such as Benadryl cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area up to 3-4 times a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Claritin to help reduce itching from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management."

View allI'm really struggling and could use some advice. I've been taking fexofenadine for about three years, but I recently stopped. Now, I'm dealing with this intense itching all over my body, and it feels unbearable. I think it's from the withdrawal of stopping the medication. What can I do to relieve this itching? Any immediate suggestions or steps I should take?

I've been dealing with a corn on my left foot that needed surgery, and though the skin healed, it left a hard spot. I've had another corn since, which cleared up with a corn cap, but now there's some pain where the surgery was. Should I try using a corn cap again?
It sounds like the hard skin on your foot may be due to the formation of another corn. In this case, using a corn cap may not be the best option since it is already causing you pain. I recommend using a salicylic acid-based corn remover solution. Apply it directly to the affected area following the instructions on the package. Additionally, you can use a cushioning pad or insole to relieve pressure on the area and prevent further corn formation. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with this itching problem for almost 25 days now, mostly in the lower part of my body. It started on my thighs and around the genital area. I used Fourderm cream, and the itching in the genital area got better, but my thighs are still really itchy. Now, it's even affecting the area below my knees, with the intensity changing day by day. Some days it seems to get better, and then it comes back. I've also noticed small red spots on my thighs but not below the knees. I'm really worried about what could be causing this and what I should do next. Can you help?
