Question 1

I'm really struggling with acne and pigmentation issues that I've had for the past two months. My doctor put me on zithrox 250 three times a week for three months, and I'm using acnicin sunscreen and acne uv gel with SPF 30, plus a hyperpigmentation cream with tyrodin, kojic acid, arbutin, vitamin C, and vitamin E. The acne's cleared up, but I still have some marks and scars left, especially on my cheeks. Any advice on what I can do next?

Causes*

1. *Sun Allergy (Polymorphic Light Eruption)*: Exposure to sunlight, especially during peak hours, can trigger an allergic reaction, leading to itchy red bumps.
2. *Phototoxicity*: Certain medications or skincare products can react with sunlight, causing a phototoxic reaction, which may present with similar symptoms.
3. *Contact Dermatitis*: Exposure to an allergen or irritant, such as soap, detergent, or plant sap, can cause a skin reaction, especially on exposed areas like forearms and ears.
4. *Heat Rash (Miliaria)*: Prolonged exposure to heat and sunlight can cause heat rash, characterized by small, itchy bumps.

*Next Steps*

1. *Seek shade and avoid further sun exposure*: Until the symptoms resolve, limit your time in the sun, especially during peak hours.
2. *Apply cool compresses*: To reduce itching and inflammation, apply a cool, wet compress to the affected areas.
3. *Use topical creams or ointments*: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion can help alleviate itching and inflammation.

Accepted Answer

Itching between the legs, burning sensation, heat production, blackening of the skin, and bleeding are suggestive of a fungal infection, most likely a jock itch. You can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothes, and avoiding scratching the area will help in faster recovery.
