Question 1

I've started noticing some white patches on my hip area and they're a bit irritated. I'm worried it might be some kind of fungal infection, but the rest of my body seems fine, no allergy or anything. Also, I'm concerned about preventing any darkening in that area. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this and how to deal with it?

Accepted Answer

Based on your description of white patches with slight irritation on your hip area, it does sound like a fungal infection, such as Tinea versicolor. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Additionally, to prevent darkening of the hip area, it's important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating. You can also use a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone under the guidance of a dermatologist to help with any darkening that may occur. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.

Question 5

I'm dealing with these small, blister-like rashes on my fingers, shoulders, and neck. The doctor said it's due to poor hygiene and recommended benzyl benzoate solution as well as cetirizine. I'm really curious, how long will it take for these to heal?

Accepted Answer

The blister-like rashes on your fingers, shoulders, and neck can be uncomfortable and concerning.

Diagnosis and Treatment

The doctor's diagnosis suggests that the rashes might be caused by scabies, a skin infestation caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The prescribed medications are:

1. Benzyl benzoate solution (Ascabiol): A topical scabicide used to treat scabies.
2. Cetrazine: An antihistamine that can help relieve itching and reduce the allergic response.

Healing Time

The healing time for scabies can vary depending on several factors, such as:

1. Severity of infestation: More severe cases may take longer to heal.
2. Effectiveness of treatment: Adherence to the treatment regimen and proper application of medications can impact healing time.
3. Individual response: People's responses to treatment can vary.

Generally, with proper treatment, scabies can be cured within:

- 2-4 weeks: Symptoms like itching and rash may start to subside.
- 4-6 weeks: Skin lesions and rashes may take longer to heal completely.
