Question 1

I've been having this burning pain in my left armpit for the past two weeks. I got an ultrasound of my breast, and it showed enlarged lymph nodes in both armpits and a cyst in one breast. But the doctor said that couldn't be the cause of the burning. I'm really curious why there's still this burning sensation. I did notice some redness and irritation in the same armpit about three weeks ago after using some perfume, but that seems to have gotten better. There's no burning in my right armpit. Are there any ideas on what could be causing this since I don't see any visible patch?

Accepted Answer

This could be due to irritation from the previous reaction to perfume or other underlying causes. I recommend taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing lidocaine may provide some relief. If the pain persists, you may need a prescription for a medication like gabapentin to help with nerve pain. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm really grateful for your helpful response last time. I'm happy with the service you provide for patients. I've got another question, though. My skin texture isn't great  there's some acne left even though I'm on medication and seeing a dermatologist. Theres also some pigmentation. My previous dermatologist gave me SabiGlow cream for skin lightening and to help with the pigmentation. Do you think this will help lighten my skin? I've got a wheatish skin tone, and Im curious if it's safe to use. I also stopped using propyzole nf cream after reading your review. You suggested Cetaphil DAM cream, but my skin is oily. It gets a bit dry right after washing, but gets oily again soon after. Can I still use Cetaphil DAM cream with my oily skin?

Accepted Answer

Sabi-Glow cream can be effective for lightening pigmentation and improving skin texture, but make sure you use it under the guidance of your dermatologist and always wear sunscreen.
For your oily skin, you may want to adjust your moisturizer. Cetaphil DAM could be too heavy, but you can try using a smaller amount or consider switching to a lighter moisturizer like Cetaphil oil-free or a gel-based option.

Question 3

I've been dealing with dead skin on my penis foreskin for about a year now. There's a lot of itching and scratching in that area, and it's really uncomfortable. I've seen a skin specialist four times, and each time they've given me a different treatment. I've used Castellani's paint and AF 400 mg, then Daktar gel with AF 400 mg, and more recently, normal saline and Onabet for 15 days. But nothing's working, and I'm really worried. What do you think I should do next?

Accepted Answer

Since the previous treatments have not shown improvement, I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Canesten) twice daily on the affected area and taking Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants can also help in managing the condition.

I'm starting to notice more and more white hairs popping up above my ears on both sides. It began with just one or two about a year and a half ago, but they're definitely increasing now. Should I be concerned, or is this just a normal part of aging?
