Question 1

My 3.5-year-old has been dealing with these itchy hives all over their body that are really irritating. It seems to happen everywhere. What could be causing this, and how can we help soothe the itching? Are there any common triggers we should be looking out for?

Accepted Answer

You are suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy, infection or drugs taken for some condition. It presents with itching resulting in formation of red rashes which we call hives or wheals. Although in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be treated with medicines so that you do not get any new hives. The treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 1 to 6 months.

Question 2

I've been dealing with ringworm and it's really stubborn. Plus, there's this annoying dinaay and khujli that's just driving me up the wall! Can you recommend the best medicine or ointment to help clear this up? I'm really hoping to find something effective because it's becoming a real hassle.

Accepted Answer

You can use Terbinafine (brand name Lamisil) tablets 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can apply Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) cream twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry to help with the healing process.

Question 3

I'm 35 and for the past five years, I've been dealing with these painful bumps with pus on my scalp, which the doctors say is scalp folliculitis. I attached some images to show what's been going on. I've already seen a dermatologist, but I'm still struggling to find relief. I've tried a bunch of medicines and shampoos like Isotrian 10 mg, T.Bact Shampoo, 8X Shampoo, Limcee Tablet, Cap Doxt 100 mg, Salisia KT Shampoo, Metasone F Cream, Pantop 40, Gudcef CV, Amoxyclavunate 625 mg, Ultiderm Lotion, Cadid TV Shampoo, Monoz 500 mg, Flutican200, Sporolac, Septran Tablet, Isotroin 20 mg, and Trigaine Shampoo, but nothing seems to work. Can you please suggest the best tablets or shampoos that might help with this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you have been dealing with scalp folliculitis for quite some time despite trying various medications. Based on the medications you have listed, I would recommend continuing with T.BACT SHAMPOO for its antibacterial properties to help with the infection in the hair follicles. Additionally, you can try using SALISIA KT SHAMPOO to help reduce inflammation and itching on the scalp. For oral medications, you can continue with CAP DOXT 100 MG for its antibiotic properties. In addition, you can try ISOTROIN 20 MG to help regulate oil production in the skin and prevent clogged pores. It's important to follow the prescribed dosages for each medication and to be consistent with your treatment regimen. If you experience any severe side effects or if the condition does not improve, it would be best to follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
