Question

I've been dealing with a lot of khujli all over my body, and after scratching, I get these small fafole or Dane. The itching is really bad, especially in my underbody area. It's causing me a lot of trouble. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

  4. Eczema or dermatitis: Chronic skin conditions causing itching and inflammation.

Treatment and Relief

  1. Moisturize: Apply gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to soothe dry skin.
