I've been experiencing some itching in between my fingers on both my hands and feet, but there aren't any red dots or rashes there. It's a bit concerning, and I'm not really sure what's causing it. Could there be a reason for this itching even without visible signs like rashes?

View allI'm experiencing some discomfort and pain when I touch the lower right side of my rib bones, and it's been going on for almost 12 days now. On top of that, I've also been having some nosebleeds. I've been taking TretinIso 20 capsules for about 7 months to deal with acne on my face, as my doctor suggested. I'm really worriedcould these capsules be causing the pain in my ribs or the nosebleeds? What do you think is going on?
Yes. Stop the medicine for time being. Do you have Acidity or constipation problems ? What are your vitamin D levels ? Any cough or congestion?

Good evening, doctor. Lately, I've been experiencing this weird sensation like something is crawling on my skin from the inside, almost like bugs or insects. It happens all day and night, but especially at night, it's so bad it wakes me up and I can't sleep because of the fear. I don't see anything on my skin from the outside, but the feeling is definitely there. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
The sensation you're describing, feeling like something is crawling on your skin from the inside, is known as formication. This can be a distressing and disruptive symptom. Possible Causes: 1. Anxiety or stress: High levels of anxiety or stress can cause formication. 2. Neurological conditions: Certain conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or peripheral neuropathy can cause formication. 3. Skin conditions: Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis can cause formication. 4. Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or magnesium can cause formication. 5. Medication side effects: Certain medications, such as antidepressants or antihistamines, can cause formication as a side effect. What to Do: 1. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a dermatologist to rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. Keep a symptom journal: Track when the sensations occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers. 3. Practice stress-reducing techniques: Engage in activities like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to help manage stress and anxiety. 4. Get enough sleep: Establish a consistent sleep schedule and create a relaxing bedtime routine to improve sleep quality. 5. Avoid stimulants: Reduce or avoid consumption of caffeine, nicotine, and other stimulants that can exacerbate anxiety and formication. Additional Tips: 1. Keep your skin moisturized: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable. 2. Avoid scratching: Try to resist the urge to scratch, as this can further irritate your skin and worsen the sensation. 3. Consider cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): A therapist can help you address underlying anxiety or stress contributing to your formication.

I've noticed a small lump in my armpit, and it's swollen and hurts a bit when I move my arm. Should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node in your armpit, which can be caused by various reasons such as infection or inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area for 10-15 minutes a few times a day. If the swelling and pain persist or worsen, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
