I've been dealing with this persistent itching near my bikini area for about a month now, and its gradually spreading. My skin is really dry and it's peeling, almost like it's broken. I went to a doctor who prescribed a cream called TEXIFEN, but I haven't seen any improvement. What could be causing this, and should I try a different treatment?

In addition to the cream you have been using, I recommend adding an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole cream, You can also take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole to treat the infection from the inside. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to help with the healing process.

View allI'm worried about some red blood spots on my left arm that have been there for years and seem like blood clots. They don't itch, hurt, or swell, but if I rub them, they disappear for a bit but then come back. It seems like there are more of them now. I read online that it could be Contact dermatitis, but I have only a few visible blood clots. I saw a skin doctor who did a blood test, but it didnt show anything. She suggested a biopsy, which Im not ready for. Could you tell me what this might be and how to treat it?

Ive been on Acutret 20 since the end of May and usually check in with my doctor monthly. My last visit was in mid-July, where he told me to keep taking Acutret 20 after breakfast and Azid 500 before dinner three times a week for two weeks. Since then, my acne has gotten a bit better, with just 23 pimples popping up in the last month. Unfortunately, I cant see him until September 9th. Should I keep taking these meds or should I stop until I can get more advice?
It's great to hear that your acne has improved with the current treatment regimen. Acutret 20 (Isotretinoin) is a powerful medication for acne, and Azithromycin 500 (Azid 500) is an antibiotic that helps combat bacterial infections. Given your situation, here are some guidelines to consider: Continuing Treatment 1. Acutret 20: You can continue taking Acutret 20 as prescribed (after breakfast) until you can meet your doctor again. 2. Azid 500: Since you've been instructed to take Azid 500 thrice a week for 2 weeks, you can complete the remaining course (if any) as directed.
