I'm really worried about why my skin stays dirty even after washing it well. It's like I have to almost scrape with something sharp just to get the dirt off. After a bath, it seems to get dirty super fast again. I've even tried washing my face around 45 times a day, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. It's strange because even just after washing, if I rub my hands on my face, I still end up with some dust. What could be going on here?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a buildup of dead skin cells and dirt on your skin. This could be due to a variety of factors such as excessive oil production, environmental factors, or improper skincare routine. I recommend using a gentle exfoliating cleanser to help remove the dead skin cells and dirt more effectively. You can try using a face wash containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, twice a day. Additionally, using a gentle scrub, such as St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub, 2-3 times a week can also help improve the texture of your skin. Make sure to moisturize your skin afterwards to prevent it from becoming too dry. If the issue persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've noticed that the skin around my private area has turned a black color and it's really itchy. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing this and what the best treatment options could be. Can you help me figure out how to deal with this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection in your private area. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to allow for better air circulation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I recently had a PET CT Scan with FDG and Contrast, and I've noticed red itchy rashes all over my body the next day. Could this be an allergic reaction to the nuclear medicine or contrast used for the scan? Any advice on how to treat these rashes would be really appreciated. I had the scan two days ago.
