I've been dealing with this annoying itch on my right butt cheek. It's kind of embarrassing to see a doctor in person about it. Could you suggest an ointment or gel that might help me get rid of it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I recommend using hydrocortisone cream 1% for the itching on your right butt cheek. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.

View allI think I might have a staph infection. It's looking kind of purple and there's this big red spot around it, and it's pretty painful. Should I have it checked out?
Staph infections can range from minor skin problems to life-threatening conditions, so it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Your healthcare provider may perform a physical exam, take a sample of the infected area, or order imaging tests to confirm the diagnosis. If left untreated, staph infections can lead to serious complications, such as sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the infection spreads to your bloodstream.

I've been dealing with some acne on my cheeks and have a few blemish scars too. I'm wondering if I can use Klinface A gel again? It was prescribed to me by my dermatologist before and worked really well in about a month. Is it safe for me to start using it again on my own?
Yes you can use it no problem

I'm really struggling with this itching problem on my skin that I've had for many years. I've been using a soap named Tetmosol, and it helps until the evening, but then the itching comes back. I'm curious if there's anything else I could try or if there's something more to it? It's been quite frustrating dealing with this every day.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin condition that requires ongoing management. In addition to using Tetmosol soap, you can also try using a topical corticosteroid cream like Betnovate (Betamethasone) twice a day on the affected areas. Make sure to apply a thin layer and gently rub it in. If the itching persists, you can also take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily in the evening to help with the itching. Remember to continue using these medications as directed by a healthcare professional.
