I've heard that you can get crabs from having head lice. Is that true? I'm worried about getting pubic lice because of head lice. Can you tell me if that's possible?

View allI've been diagnosed with lichen planus and I've been prescribed Omnacortil 10mg tablets. I'm really curious about what effects or side effects I might experience from taking this medication. Can you shed some light on this for me?
Tablet Omnacortil 10mg contains prednisolone, which is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation. In the treatment of lichen planus, Omnacortil 10mg can help reduce itching, redness, and inflammation of the skin lesions. However, it is important to note that long-term use of corticosteroids like prednisolone can have side effects such as weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, increased risk of infections, and thinning of the skin. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration as advised by your healthcare provider to minimize the risk of side effects.

I'm really worried about my sister. She's got these small warts on her neck and face, and they seem to be spreading to her chest and armpits. Sometimes they itch, but not always. She's tried using pure turmeric mixed with neem and potato juice, but nothing's really worked. Now she's been using Dettol and says that the burning feeling she had at first isn't there anymore. Do you think it's okay for her to keep using Dettol to get rid of the warts? If you have any other home remedy ideas, that would be great because she's not into the idea of laser treatment and it's really causing her some pain. Any advice?

Good evening, doctor. Lately, I've been experiencing this weird sensation like something is crawling on my skin from the inside, almost like bugs or insects. It happens all day and night, but especially at night, it's so bad it wakes me up and I can't sleep because of the fear. I don't see anything on my skin from the outside, but the feeling is definitely there. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
The sensation you're describing, feeling like something is crawling on your skin from the inside, is known as formication. This can be a distressing and disruptive symptom. Possible Causes: 1. Anxiety or stress: High levels of anxiety or stress can cause formication. 2. Neurological conditions: Certain conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or peripheral neuropathy can cause formication. 3. Skin conditions: Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis can cause formication. 4. Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or magnesium can cause formication. 5. Medication side effects: Certain medications, such as antidepressants or antihistamines, can cause formication as a side effect. What to Do: 1. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a dermatologist to rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. Keep a symptom journal: Track when the sensations occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers. 3. Practice stress-reducing techniques: Engage in activities like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to help manage stress and anxiety. 4. Get enough sleep: Establish a consistent sleep schedule and create a relaxing bedtime routine to improve sleep quality. 5. Avoid stimulants: Reduce or avoid consumption of caffeine, nicotine, and other stimulants that can exacerbate anxiety and formication. Additional Tips: 1. Keep your skin moisturized: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable. 2. Avoid scratching: Try to resist the urge to scratch, as this can further irritate your skin and worsen the sensation. 3. Consider cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): A therapist can help you address underlying anxiety or stress contributing to your formication.
