I've been experiencing this strange crawling sensation just below my skin, and it's affecting my entire right leg. Should I be worried about this? And if so, can you tell me which kind of doctor I should see?

A crawling sensation under the skin can be unsettling. It's essential to consult a doctor to determine the cause. You can start by visiting:

  1. General Physician: Rule out underlying medical conditions.
  2. Dermatologist: Examine skin-related issues, such as eczema, psoriasis, or skin infections.
  3. Neurologist: Investigate nerve-related conditions, like neuropathy or nerve damage.

Possible causes include:

  • Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis)
  • Nerve issues (neuropathy, nerve damage)
  • Insect bites or infestations
  • Poor circulation
  • Nutritional deficiencies

Seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause and receive proper treatment.

I'm dealing with genital warts for the past 3 months. It started with just 12 warts, but now they seem to be increasing. Could you tell me what the best treatment options are? I'm really concerned about this and would appreciate your advice.

Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be treated with prescription medications. One of the most common treatments is using imiquimod cream (brand name Aldara). You can apply a thin layer of Aldara cream on the warts before bedtime, three times a week for up to 16 weeks. Another option is podofilox solution (brand name Condylox), which you can apply directly to the warts twice a day for three consecutive days, followed by four days off. This cycle can be repeated up to four times. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I've noticed some dark patches in my groin area and on my lower back, and it's getting pretty itchy and dry. Also, the skin on my minora has turned hyperpigmented and has this papillary texture, which I've only been seeing for the last few days. It's kinda concerning. What do you think might be going on?

That needs physical examination,do not neglect, that could be Fungal or viral infection, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Ive been thinking about trying glutathione capsules, but I have a few grey hairs already and Im a bit worried. Since glutathione is known to increase melanin production for fairer skin, could it also increase melanin in my hair and turn all of it grey? Should I go ahead with taking glutathione, or is there a risk that all my hair could turn grey?

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
