Question 1

I'm dealing with really itchy, dry, and flaky skin, mainly around my joints. It also gets red and sometimes even oozes if I scratch too much. Do you think soframycin could help calm these symptoms, or is it better to look for a different treatment? I'm trying to figure out how to manage it better.

Question 2

I've been having some issues with my skin ever since I got over chickenpox. Now my face is breaking out with acne and pimples everywhere. They're kinda mild, not super aggressive, but I never had any before. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing post-chickenpox acne. To help with this, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Differin (adapalene) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can use a benzoyl peroxide wash like PanOxyl (benzoyl peroxide) to cleanse your face once or twice daily. Make sure to moisturize with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness. If these over-the-counter treatments do not improve your acne, you may need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and prescription medications.

Question 3

I've been dealing with a really sticky neck for the last couple of weeks. No matter how often I wash it, the stickiness comes back in just about 10 minutes. I'm sweating a normal amount, and I've never experienced anything like this before. I've tried washing with water and soap, but even right after a shower, my neck feels sticky again within 5 to 10 minutes. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this?

Accepted Answer

Sticky neck can be frustrating. Possible causes include:

- Excessive sweating
- Bacterial or fungal infections
- Skin conditions like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis
- Product buildup

Try these remedies:

1. _Antibacterial soap_: Use a mild antibacterial soap to reduce bacteria.
2. _Antifungal powder_: Apply an antifungal powder to reduce fungal growth.
3. _Baby powder or talcum powder_: Absorb moisture and reduce stickiness.
4. _Apple cider vinegar_: Mix with water as a final rinse to balance skin pH.
5. _Tea tree oil_: Mix with water and apply to reduce bacterial and fungal growth.

I've recently stopped taking Diane 35, which I used for about 6 months to manage my acne. Now, I'm experiencing a lot of hair fall and I'm really concerned. Could this be a side effect of stopping the medication? How long should I expect this hair loss to continue? It's really worrying me.
