Question 1

I've been having this really annoying issue with my skin; it started as just itching and at first, I thought it was just because of sweat. I even tried using mupivate ointment but it didn't seem to help at all. The skin is just peeling constantly and it's all on my lower back. Whenever I sweat, it gets super itchy, and I've noticed it's actually been spreading over the last six months. Do you have any suggestions for a cream or anything external I could apply to help with this?

Accepted Answer

This sounds like a case of fungal infection, specifically tinea corporis. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

Question 2

Do you think getting a manicure and pedicure at the beauty parlour is safe, or could it potentially cause some harm? And how do I know which are the best types of these treatments to choose?

Accepted Answer

when done properly, but there are potential risks:

*Benefits*

1. *Improved nail health*: Trimming, cutting, and filing can help maintain healthy nails.
2. *Relaxation and pampering*: Massages and other treatments can be calming and rejuvenating.
3. *Aesthetic appeal*: Manicures and pedicures can enhance the appearance of your nails and feet.

*Risks*

1. *Infection*: Improper sanitation and hygiene can lead to fungal or bacterial infections.
2. *Cuticle damage*: Aggressive cuticle removal or pushing can cause bleeding, pain, or infection.
3. *Nail damage*: Over-filing, cutting, or drilling can weaken or damage nails.

*Best Manicure and Pedicure Options*

1. *Sanitary and hygienic salons*: Choose salons with good reputation, proper sanitation, and hygienic practices.
2. *Gel or dipping powder*: These options are less damaging than traditional acrylics.
3. *Natural nail care*: Opt for nail care that focuses on natural nail health, rather than excessive decoration.
