I'm really concerned about this itch on the pad of my right thumb that's been driving me crazy for the past week. There's no sign of a bite or any redness, swelling, or anything like that. Ive tried scratching it, biting it, and rubbing it on various things, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

You may be experiencing a case of contact dermatitis. You can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help relieve the itching. Additionally, you can apply a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% to the affected area up to twice a day. Make sure to avoid any potential irritants or allergens that may be causing the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I recently had my first session of fractional CO2 laser treatment, and about 20 days later, I had to spend some time outside in the sun for work. I did use sunscreen, but my skin still seems to have been affected. It's red and feels really tight. I'm kind of worried and wondering if I should use Fucidin cream now. Is the damage permanent, or can it be fixed? Would really appreciate some advice.
Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .

I've recently noticed that my forehead is getting really tan, and I realized I've never really paid much attention to my skincare until now. I'm 24 and have started using a Himalaya walnut scrub, neem face wash, and kesar face pack for about a month. I can see some improvement on my cheeks but not on my forehead. Also, since I started using the neem face wash, I get a lot of pimples. They seem to clear up after using the face wash, but new ones just pop up in different places. What can I do to get rid of the tan on my forehead and prevent these pimples?
You are suffering with Acne Vulgaris this needs a course of antibiotics and vitamin A supplements,visit DERMATOLOGIST for the same and for tan removal you can try with CO2 laser treatment
