I'm really struggling with an issue that's been bothering me for the last six months. I've got this persistent itch in the area below my buttocks, and I've tried using Dermiford cream and Btex, but nothing seems to work. The itch just keeps coming back. I even tried a home remedy with tulsi leaves, but that didn't help either. Could you please offer me some guidance on what to do?

Try an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Can you help me understand what the side effects of Wysolone might be? I'm only taking it for a short period, just 15 tablets, because of ulcers. The doctor also suggested I pair it with Septiline. When should I expect any side effects to show up, if at all?

Itching,nausea,headache, allergic reactions etc are the side-effects.. Kindly continue the medication as per dermatologist opinion.

I've noticed this dark line running from the top to the bottom of my left leg, and it's really weird because it doesn't hurt or itch at all. It was more pronounced before, but now it seems to be fading. I'm curious if this is something I should be worried about or if it's just going to go away on its own. What could it be? Any idea what's going on?
