I've been experiencing a lot of itching around my private areas and have noticed both white and dark black patches there. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Can you suggest any medicines or treatments that could help me get rid of this itching? Also, is there anything specific I should be doing to soothe it?

I'm dealing with really itchy skin, and nothing seems to be working. I've already tried Moxikind CV 625 and Nuforce, but I'm still struggling. Could you tell me what medicine might actually help with this?

The medications you mentioned are antibiotics, which may not be effective for treating itchiness of the skin. For itchy skin, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. In addition, applying a soothing lotion containing Calamine can also help relieve the itchiness. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation.

I'm really struggling with dandruff and I've even started getting small wounds on my scalp. I actually saw a dermatologist about a year ago, and they told me to use this lotion at night I can't remember the name and wash my hair with Kenz Sal shampoo. It helped for a bit but now the problem is back. What should I do about this issue?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab follihair once ,daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
