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.

Question

I'm a 45-year-old guy and I've been using hair dye for the past 15 years, but lately I've started having allergic reactions. There's itching on my scalp and face, and my face has turned kind of blackish. I've tried different brands and types, like liquids, powder, and shampoo dyes over the years. Could you suggest a hair dye or maybe tablets that might help with these allergies, and is there an ointment that could help reduce the dark color on my face?

Question

I've been dealing with a case of Acute Paronychia and it seems like it's getting better. The swelling's gone down, and I managed to squeeze out a lot of pus and discharge from the abscess, which I think cleared it out. But I'm not entirely sure, 'cause some odd things are leaving me questioning. Like, I peeled off some dry skin around the swelling area and noticed there's still a bit of a bump. Should I be worried, or is this normal during recovery?
