I've been having these really itchy rashes on my skin for a while now. I saw a dermatologist and she mentioned it was a mild infection, so I took ebast 10mg for 20 days like she suggested. But the thing is, the rashes keep popping back up. It's been going on for around 4 months, and I'm starting to wonder if just taking antihistamines is the right approach. The second I stop taking ebast, the rashes come back after just 2 days. Im just not sure who I should talk to for a deeper look into what's causing this. What could be causing these rashes, and how do we figure out the right treatment?

Antihistamines are generally safe for long term consumption. If stopping the medicaitons causes your symptoms to recur, it may be best to get further evaluation done and ascertain your allergic triggers. Consult an Immunologist to get a more detailed treatment plan.

I've recently recovered from a jock itch infection in my groin area, but it's left the skin there really dark and blackened. The infection itself is gone and Im not having any symptoms now, but the skin hasn't gone back to normal. Is there anything I can do to help it heal or lighten back to its usual color?

I'm a 37-year-old male and I've noticed itchy red bumps on my thighs, arms, stomach, and legs. They seem to start under the skin and when the bigger ones burst, they release a strange fluid and blood with a bad odor, and it becomes painful. They seem to appear over hair follicles. I did some research and thought it might be something like HS but it doesn't fully match. I don't smoke and I'm not overweight. Since they started a month ago, I've changed my diet by cutting out dairy and reducing sugar and grains while adding supplements, probiotics, and vitamins. I've noticed fewer large bumps now, but there are still a lot of small ones. What do you think this could be?
In your case, since the bumps are emitting a strange fluid and blood with a putrid odor, it may be a more severe form of folliculitis. To help treat your symptoms, I recommend using an antibacterial wash like Hibiclens to cleanse the affected areas. Additionally, you can apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the bumps. In some cases, oral antibiotics may be necessary, so I suggest consulting with a healthcare provider to determine if that is needed. In terms of supplements, continue taking your probiotics and vitamins as they can support your overall health and immune system. However, it's important to address the underlying skin issue with the appropriate treatment. Remember to maintain good hygiene practices, avoid shaving the affected areas, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice for further evaluation and management.
