I'm really confused and a bit concerned about something that's been happening lately. Almost every night, I wake up with this persistent itching in my feet and the palms of my hands. It's been happening after I take a shower and moisturize. What could be causing this? Could my shower habits or the moisturizer be triggering it somehow? I'm just not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Itching in the feet and palms of the hands, especially at night, can be due to a condition called eczema. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas before bedtime. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg at night can help alleviate the itching. Make sure to continue moisturizing regularly and avoid any potential triggers that may worsen the itching.

View allI'm really worried because after I stopped using this cream that I had been applying for a year, my skin's condition has worsened. It's become darker, and I'm dealing with acne and pigmentation, especially around my mouth. Do you think visiting a dermatologist can help me get my skin back to normal and possibly improve my complexion?
I understand your concern about your skin damage after stopping the cream. Damage Reversal and Skin Improvement 1. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment to discuss your skin concerns and determine the best course of treatment. 2. Skin analysis: A dermatologist will analyze your skin to identify underlying issues, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or skin texture. 3. Personalized treatment plan: Based on the analysis, the dermatologist will create a customized treatment plan to address your specific skin concerns. Treatment Options 1. Topical treatments: Creams, serums, or gels containing ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, or niacinamide can help improve skin texture, reduce acne, and fade hyperpigmentation. 2. Chemical peels: A solution is applied to remove the top layers of skin, revealing smoother skin and reducing hyperpigmentation. 3. Microdermabrasion or microneedling: Non-invasive exfoliating treatments that help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote collagen production. 4. Laser therapy: Targets specific skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, acne, or skin texture. Fairness and Skin Brightening 1. Skin brightening treatments: Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy can help reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten the skin. 2. Topical skin brighteners: Creams or serums containing ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or licorice extract can help fade hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone. Patience and Realistic Expectations 1. Treatment duration: Depending on the treatment plan, it may take several months to a year or more to see noticeable improvements.
