I've been experiencing some really intense itching on my fingers and toes, and I just found out it's Dyshidrotic eczema. Do you have any treatment suggestions or tips on how to manage this condition? It's been really uncomfortable, so any advice would be appreciated.

Dyshidrotic eczema can be treated with topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol propionate cream applied twice daily for 2 weeks, followed by once daily for 2 weeks. In addition, you can use emollients like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion to keep the skin moisturized. If the itching is severe, you can take oral antihistamines such as Loratadine 10mg once daily. If there is any sign of infection, antibiotics like Cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days may be necessary.

View allI've been dealing with urticaria and I'm currently taking Betacap 40mg, Primox 25mg, and Tyroxine 50mg for it. I'm a bit worried and wondering whether I should keep taking these medications or if they might be causing the issues. Could these meds be related to my urticaria?

My 10-year-old has a dark birthmark on their forehead that hasn't improved with treatments we've tried. Doctors suggested laser or plastic surgery, but I'm unsure what's best. Are there other options or things we should consider before going for surgery?
It's understandable to be unsure about the best course of action for your child's birthmark. Given that previous treatments haven't worked, and your doctor has suggested laser or plastic surgery, it's wise to consider all options before making a decision. While surgery can be effective, especially for certain types of birthmarks, it's important to weigh the potential benefits against the risks and consider alternatives.

I applied a honey mask to my face, and after 15 minutes, I washed it off. Then, about two hours later, I went to a parlor for eyebrow plucking and noticed I had a white hair in my eyebrows. I'm worried now. The lady at the parlor said the honey might have caused the hair to turn white. Is there any truth to that?
No, honey does not make hair turn white. Honey is often used in hair masks and treatments to moisturize and nourish the hair. If you are experiencing premature graying of hair, it is recommended to consult with a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
