I've been dealing with scabies, and the itching is driving me insane. It's pretty much everywhere on my body. What can I do to ease this itching? It's becoming unbearable.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with scabies; I understand how uncomfortable and frustrating the itching can be. It's important to get treatment as soon as possible, typically with prescribed creams or oral medication, to eliminate the mites and soothe the irritation. If you haven't yet, I recommend consulting your doctor for the best course of action.

View allI've been struggling with a ringworm fungal infection in my groin area for the last two years, and it just seems to be getting worse. I've seen multiple dermatologists, but nothing has worked so far. I'm really frustrated and don't know what to do anymore. My inner thigh has even turned black because of this! Ive tried taking Candiforce 100mg, but still no luck. I'm at my wits' end here. Do you have any suggestions for a good medicine that might help?
I understand your frustration and concern about the persistent fungal infection in your groin region. I'm here to offer some guidance and suggestions. Causes and Symptoms Ringworm, also known as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that thrives in warm, moist areas. Symptoms include: 1. Red, itchy, and scaly patches on the skin 2. Circular lesions with clear centers 3. Discoloration, including darkening of the skin Treatment Options Since you've already tried Candiforce 100mg, here are some alternative treatment options: 1. Topical antifungals: Clotrimazole, miconazole, or terbinafine creams can be applied directly to the affected area. 2. Oral antifungals: Fluconazole, itraconazole, or ketoconazole may be prescribed for more severe cases. 3. Combination therapy: Using a combination of topical and oral antifungals may be more effective. 4. Tea tree oil: This essential oil has antifungal properties and can be applied topically.

I'm dealing with allergies and these really bothersome skin rashes. Plus, I've got these painful oozing bumps on my scalp. It seems like I react to a lot of good stuff and it gets worse in hot, humid weather. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Allergies and skin rashes along with oozing scalp bumps can be indicative of a condition such as atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) or Zyrtec (cetirizine) to manage your allergies. For the skin rashes, you can apply hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. Additionally, for the oozing scalp bumps, you may benefit from using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide, such as Nizoral shampoo, to help with scalp inflammation. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication.

I'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?
That needs Physical Examination,visit Dermatologist for the same and appropriate management
