I've been dealing with this itching for about a week now. The skin specialist prescribed me NUFORCE 400 to take once weekly, and also gave me some ointment called CLOTRIMAZOLE along with CETRIZINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE. But my condition feels pretty serious. What should I do?

View allI've been wearing glasses for 15 years and now have deep marks on my nose along with dark circles. Would surgery help fix the dark circles and nose indents or are there other options I should consider first?
While surgery can address nose indentations from glasses and some types of dark circles, it's not always the first or best option. Consider non-surgical treatments for the nose, and a range of options for dark circles before jumping to surgery.

I'm really worried about this hair loss issue I've been experiencing near my ear. I tried using an anti-infection cream for around 20 days, but it didn't seem to help. I'm wondering if theres a treatment that could actually work. I've noticed some small black hairs growing in that area, but I'm not sure what that means. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help treat the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management."

I've been experiencing some really intense itching on my fingers and toes, and I just found out it's Dyshidrotic eczema. Do you have any treatment suggestions or tips on how to manage this condition? It's been really uncomfortable, so any advice would be appreciated.
Dyshidrotic eczema can be treated with topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol propionate cream applied twice daily for 2 weeks, followed by once daily for 2 weeks. In addition, you can use emollients like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion to keep the skin moisturized. If the itching is severe, you can take oral antihistamines such as Loratadine 10mg once daily. If there is any sign of infection, antibiotics like Cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days may be necessary.
