I've been feeling this weird pin prick sensation on the sole of my foot whenever I walk or put pressure on my toe. It's not like a bunch of needles, just feels like one sharp point. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

Although it is unlikely that these are symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, it is advisable to have your blood sugar values tested for confirmation. It is best to consult a Dermatologist for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with this pimple on my areola for about a year now. It started off small, and I squeezed it once, which caused this white sticky stuff to come out. But this past week, it got bigger, turned red, and was filled with pus. It actually burst on its own today and got smaller, but it's still red. I'm on lung TB meds, and I'm also getting these little bumps like pimples on my forehead. I've had acne issues before. When I asked a gynaecologist, they mentioned it could be a breast abscess from the TB meds and suggested squeezing it more and taking Augmentin 625 duo for five days. Is this okay? Could taking Augmentin affect my TB treatment? Does this kind of reaction happen when someone is on TB meds? It's new to me, and I'm getting a bit worried.

Yes,continue same treatment.Tab augmentin duo 625mg thrice daily ,orally for 5 days. If symptoms persists surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm using Sternons lotion for psoriasis based on my doctor's advice, applying it to the middle fingernail of my left hand because of the nail pitting. But now my whole body is itching. Could this be a side effect of the lotion, or is there something else going on? I've been using it for three days and I'm taking Viterma capsules too. What do you think?

Sternon-S lotion contains steroids, which can have side effects, especially with prolonged use. The itching sensation on your entire body could be due to: 1. Steroid-induced itching: A known side effect of topical steroid use. 2. Allergic reaction: You might be allergic to one of the lotion's ingredients. 3. Systemic absorption: Although unlikely, it's possible that the steroid is being absorbed into your bloodstream, causing itching. Other factors to consider: 1. Viterma capsule: Interactions between the capsule and the lotion might be contributing to the itching. 2. Psoriasis itself: Psoriasis can cause itching, and the lotion might not be fully addressing the underlying condition.Stop using the lotion: Temporarily discontinue use to see if the itching subsides.
