I've been experiencing this strange sensation during the evenings, like insects or something are crawling on my skin, especially around my stomach and back. It's really itchy and doesn't seem to go away. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it and why it happens. Could you provide some insight?

Psorolin B ointment is advised for local application, also take tab allegra 120 mg orally for 2 weeks, if any side-effects dermatologist opinion is advised to the patient.

View allI've been dealing with these recurring boils on my head for the last three years and just found out it's folliculitis. I've been told to take Althrocin 250, three times a day after meals for a week. Do you think this will completely cure my folliculitis?
Yes that would help, follow your doctors advice

I'm getting this rash in the center of my chest. It mostly shows up at night, and it's slightly itchy and reddish. What could this be? Should I be worried?
Usually it comes while night. It's slightly itchy and reddish. This description sounds like it could be a case of contact dermatitis or eczema. I recommend using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) to help with the itching. Additionally, applying a hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid to the affected area can help reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any potential triggers that may be causing the rash. If the rash persists or worsens, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed that over the past couple of years, my ear lobes and knuckles have become much darker than the rest of my skin. It's quite noticeable and I'm a bit concerned about it. Can you recommend a cream or treatment that could help lighten this discoloration?
Darkening of the skin in these areas could be due to various reasons such as friction, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. To lighten the complexion of your ear lobes and knuckles, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is to use a cream like "Melalite Forte Cream" which contains hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.
