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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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:
- General Physician: Rule out underlying medical conditions.
- Dermatologist: Examine skin-related issues, such as eczema, psoriasis, or skin infections.
- 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.

View allI've been prescribed Isotretinoin by my dermatologist for six months, and while it has worked well for me, I'm really worried about how expensive it is. I'm wondering if I can switch from Isotane to Lactezin capsules instead. Will they work the same way?
Switching from Isotane (Isotretinoin) to Lactezin Capsule isn't recommended without consulting your dermatologist first. Isotretinoin is a retinoid medication specifically designed to treat severe acne, and its effectiveness is well-documented. Lactezin, on the other hand, is typically used to treat digestive issues, not acne. If you're concerned about the cost of Isotane, consider discussing alternative options or generic versions with your dermatologist. Some generic versions of Isotretinoin, like Isotroin 5 Capsule or Acutret 5 Capsule, might be more affordable. However, it's crucial to prioritize your acne treatment and consult with your dermatologist before making any changes to your medication.

I'm noticing a lot more hairfall lately, especially after I comb my hair once it's dry from shampooinglike, I lose about 400-500 strands because my hair gets tangled. On other days, it's still happening but not as bad, maybe around 50 strands. I try to stay healthy by drinking 3-4 liters of water a day and exercising for about an hour daily. Plus, I don't really eat much oily food. Is there something I might be missing or should be doing differently to help with this hairfall?
To strengthen your hair and reduce breakage, you can try using a hair growth supplement like Biotin. Additionally, using a gentle shampoo like Nizoral can help with hair fall due to entanglement. You can also apply Minoxidil solution on your scalp to promote hair growth. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for each of these products.
