I've been dealing with some pretty annoying itching in my vaginal area after shaving, and it's really uncomfortable. I'm worried because it's getting in the way of my everyday activities. I would love to know what I can use to stop this itching quickly. Why does it happen after shaving, and how can I make it go away fast?

To help alleviate the itching, you can use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area up to three times a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine such as cetirizine to help reduce itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. It is also important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the itching persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

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

I've been on Diane 35 for about six months, but I stopped three months ago. Now my acne is starting to come back. What can I do about this?
Diane 35 is a hormonal contraceptive that's often prescribed to treat acne, especially in women. However, it's not uncommon for acne to return after stopping the medication. Why Acne Returns After Stopping Diane 35 1. Hormonal Fluctuations: Diane 35 regulates hormonal imbalances, which can help control acne. When you stop taking the medication, hormonal fluctuations can lead to acne recurrence. 2. Underlying Skin Issues: Diane 35 may have been masking underlying skin issues, such as clogged pores, bacterial growth, or inflammation. When you stop taking the medication, these underlying issues can resurface, leading to acne.3. Consider Alternative Acne Treatments: Your dermatologist may recommend alternative acne treatments, such as: - Topical retinoids - Benzoyl peroxide - Salicylic acid - Hormonal treatments (if hormonal imbalances are suspected)
