I've got this rough patch of skin on my forearm. It kinda looks like a hickey but it doesn't itch or hurt. It's been there for about a month. Should I be worried about it, or is it something I can just ignore? What could this be?

I'm using Tyza cream for my skin issue, and it's working well. But if I skip using it for even a day, the itching comes right back. Should I be worried about this? Is it a sign of a more serious problem?

Tyza cream is likely helping to manage your skin issue, but the rebound itching when missing a day's application could indicate: *Possible Causes* 1. *Dependence on the cream*: Your skin might be relying on the cream's active ingredients to control itching. 2. *Underlying skin condition*: The cream may be masking an underlying condition, such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. 3. *Skin barrier disruption*: The cream's ingredients might be altering your skin's natural barrier function, leading to increased sensitivity.
