I'm really struggling with this folliculitis problem on my scalp that's been going on for almost 4 years. It all started with these mild bumps, and I've been through so many dermatologists and tried all kinds of antibiotics. They work, but only as long as I'm taking them. The moment I stop, the blisters and pus come back in just a few weeks. Recently, I tried multivitamin injections to boost my immune system and it helped for a couple of months, but now the blisters are back and they're super painful. I even had a pus culture test done, but it came back negative for bacteria. I'm honestly at a loss on what to do now since the doctors say they've tried everything. Any advice on what steps to take next would be really helpful. I'm open to more tests if needed.

Since you have already tried different antibiotics and Betadine AD shampoo without long-term success, and the pus culture came back negative for bacterial growth, it may be worth considering other treatment options. One possible approach could be to try a combination therapy of oral antibiotics along with a topical antibiotic ointment.

View allI've been dealing with this jock itch issue for a couple of years now, and it's really stressing me out. My groin and butt area have turned completely black, and I've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any advice or treatment suggestions to help me get my original skin color back? Is there anything specific I should be doing?
It sounds like you may have a chronic fungal infection causing the jock itch and skin discoloration. To treat this, I recommend using an antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole. You can apply it twice daily to the affected areas for at least 2 weeks. In addition, taking oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole may also be necessary in severe cases. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. To help restore the original skin color, you can use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer to the darkened areas once daily, preferably at night.

I'm experiencing this prickling sensation and a lot of itching on my hands near my wrists, legs, and even on my back. It's really uncomfortable, especially during the summer. Could you suggest some remedies I could try to get some relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing heat rash, also known as prickly heat. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using calamine lotion on the affected areas to soothe the itching and prickling sensation. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help reduce itching. Make sure to stay cool and hydrated, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating to prevent further irritation.
