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've noticed I have a lot of thin vertical lines on my nails, and there's always one or two thick, noticeable ones on each fingernail. Its kind of worrying me because I have had tests done, like thyroid, x-ray, sugar, blood and urine tests, and everything has come back normal. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

I've been using Doxycycline 100mg, deriva bpo gel, and saslic ds face wash as part of my skincare routine for about 15 days now, just like my dermatologist suggested, and they want me to continue for another 15 days. But I've noticed my face is getting darker, especially around the eyes, which I think could be hyperpigmentation from the deriva bpo. Even though my doctor saw the pictures and thinks I should keep going, I'm really worried about this change. What should I do?
