I've been noticing a bit of a damp feeling in my butt crack lately, even though there's not much sweat, just a slight moisture. It's got me curious because whenever I check, I catch a natural, musky smell that disappears in a couple of seconds. This happens every time, and it seems to be coming from the length of my butt crack. Do we have glands in that area that could cause this? Could it be from sitting too long? It's kind of worrying me, and I'd love to know if it's just natural.

The musky smell you're experiencing in your anal region is likely due to the presence of apocrine glands, which are sweat glands located in the genital and anal areas that produce a protein-rich secretion, which, when broken down by bacteria, can cause a strong, natural, and musky odor, especially when you're wearing tight clothing or sitting for long hours.

View allI've been dealing with this intense itching all over my body because my IGE levels are high. The last time I checked was two years ago, and it was at 300. A skin specialist suggested I take either antibiotic medicine or Ebastine 20, which seemed to help for about three days, but then the itching comes right back. Is it okay to keep taking this medicine regularly, or should I consider other options?
High IgE levels can cause itching and skin issues. Given your experience with Ebastel or Best 20 (antihistamines), it's clear that: *Alternatives and Next Steps* 1. *Consult an allergist or immunologist*: To better understand your IgE levels and develop a personalized treatment plan. 2. *Consider immunotherapy*: Allergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy might help reduce your IgE levels and alleviate itching. 3. *Topical treatments*: Apply topical creams or ointments, such as pimecrolimus or tacrolimus, to reduce itching and inflammation. 4. *Oral medications*: If antihistamines aren't effective, your doctor might prescribe oral corticosteroids or immunosuppressants. *Important Notes* 1. *Don't self-medicate*: Avoid taking medications without consulting your doctor, as this can lead to adverse effects or interactions. 2. *Monitor your IgE levels*: Regularly check your IgE levels to track changes and adjust your treatment plan accordingly

I'm dealing with macular amyloidosis and I've tried a bunch of treatments but they're not really working. It's actually spreading to my back, neck, legs, and hands. Can you suggest something that might actually help?

Which oil is best for face?
Usage of oil on face depends on skin type. In persons with oily skin, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of pores. In persons with dry or flaky skin, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the skin. Coconut oil, almond oil are some of the natural oils which are good for skin.
