I've been dealing with this severe itching problem around my anal area for a while now. I remember using quadriderm RF cream for a couple of days before, and it used to clear up. But lately, even after applying it, the itching won't go away. I've noticed these dark black skin lines all over the anal area too. Could you recommend any good medications or treatments to help me out with this? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice.

I've been having some issues since I tested positive for COVID on May 4th. At first, everything seemed fine, but about 2.5 weeks later, I noticed an allergy cropping up at the corners of my mouth. I tried using Sebamed lip balm during the day and Laneige lip sleeping mask at night, but the allergy spread to my upper and lower lips. Swelling and a burning sensation followed, and now there's even a rash on my face. I've also tried Vaseline, but no luck. What could this be, and how can I treat it? Would love some guidance!
Sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis. I recommend stopping the use of all lip products and petroleum jelly for now. You can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine to help with the itching and swelling. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream 1% on the affected areas of your lips and face twice a day for up to 7 days. Make sure to avoid any known allergens or irritants, and if the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with some lingering issues after a bike accident about six months ago. The left side of my face was injured and it has been swollen ever since. The swelling hasn't gone down and there are still some light marks, plus the skin feels really thin around that area. I'm getting a bit worried and am wondering how I might treat this. Any advice on what steps I should take might be helpful.
To address the lingering facial swelling and scarring from your bike accident six months ago, consider consulting a plastic surgeon for personalized advice, and in the meantime, try using topical treatments like silicone gel or sheeting, vitamin E oil, or aloe vera to promote skin healing and reduce scarring, and also massage the affected area gently to improve circulation and break down scar tissu
