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.

Can I use Lobate GM on my face? I'm really upset because of all these pimples and black spots. I'm fair-skinned, but my face is just covered with them, and it's really bothering me. Do you think this cream could help?
It is best not to use Lobate GM on your face, especially for acne, due to the risks of side effects like skin thinning and worsening of acne

I recently got my hands waxed, and ever since, I've developed some major skin issues. My hands are now covered with pimples and rashes, and the beautician mentioned it could be a bacterial allergy. It's super itchy and painful with these red bumps ranging from tiny to quite big all over my hands. I'm really worried about it. What could be causing this, and what should I do to make it better?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis from the waxing procedure. To help with the itching, pain, and inflammation, you can try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the inflammation and itching. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine such as cetirizine to help with the itching. To prevent any bacterial infection, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
