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 a bit confused about when to apply Epiduo and Zyclin for my back. Should I use them both during the day, or is it better to apply one in the morning and the other at night? I'd appreciate some guidance on getting the most effective results.
Both Epiduo and Zyclin are typically applied in the evening before bedtime. For Epiduo, apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily in the evening. For Zyclin, apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily in the evening as well. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist for the best results.

I've been dealing with some itching around my scrotum and penis area, and a urologist said its mild folliculitis baaltod. He suggested using a moisturizer and prescribed me Zocef 500, which I took for three days, then repeated for another three. I've also been applying Fourderm. It's been three weeks now, and while the itching is better, it's not completely gone. What should I do next?
no problem continue medicine it will be reduce
