I've been experiencing this itching problem all over my body for about 2 months now, affecting the main areas too. It's really starting to worry me. Do you have any advice on what could be causing this or how I can find some relief?

It's important to determine the underlying cause of your itching in order to provide an appropriate solution. However, based on the information provided, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help relieve the itching. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help reduce the itching sensation. If the itching persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing some itching inside my penis, right from where it begins. It's really uncomfortable and makes me want to masturbate just to get some relief, but the itch doesn't go away. There's no burning when I pee, just this persistent itch. What could be causing this, and how can I make it stop?

This itching sensation inside the penis could be due to a fungal infection. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid any irritants that may worsen the itching. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with these keloid scars on my chest and shoulders, and they're really itchy and quite large. I'm looking for a treatment that doesn't involve surgery or steroid injections because my uncle had some unexpected results with those. It seems to run in the family since my grandfather, father, and uncle all have them too. Any advice on other treatment options that might work for me?

Keloid scars can be challenging to treat, especially if surgery or steroid injections have not been effective in the past. One option to consider is using silicone gel sheets, which have been shown to help flatten and soften keloid scars. You can try using Mepiform silicone gel sheets, applying them to the affected areas for at least 12 hours a day for several months to see improvement. Additionally, using pressure therapy with products like Jobskin pressure garments can also help reduce the size and thickness of keloid scars. It's important to be consistent with these treatments and be patient, as results may take time to show.

I've had a pimple near my eye for the past couple of days, and there's another one on my scalp. It's causing pain in my right eye, and there's some swelling at the bottom of it. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to relieve the symptoms?

Use a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin for the pimple near your eye and on your head scalp. Apply a small amount to the affected areas twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling.
