I've been feeling this weird kind of discomfort, not really pain or tightness in my chest. It happens every now and then, and it gets me feeling kinda anxious. Sometimes I need to take a deep breath to feel normal again. Someone mentioned it might be anxiety, and now I'm all worried. Is this a common thing? What do you think I should do?

I'm dealing with bouts of anxiety, and it seems like even the smallest things can set it off, making my heart race. I'm currently taking Panazep LS at night and Buspin 10 twice a day. Do you have any advice on how I can better manage these anxiety symptoms?

Severe itching and cysts can be distressing and embarrassing. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Folliculitis_: Inflammation of hair follicles, often caused by bacterial or fungal infections. 2. _Keratosis pilaris_: A skin condition characterized by rough, dry patches and ingrown hairs. 3. _Seborrheic dermatitis_: A skin condition causing scaly, itchy patches. 4. _Cysts_: Blocked pores or ingrown hairs can cause cysts. _Home Remedies and Self-Care_ 1. _Exfoliate regularly_: Gently exfoliate the affected area with a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 2. _Keep the area clean_: Wash the affected area with a mild soap and lukewarm water. 3. _Apply warm compresses_: Soak a clean cloth in warm water, wring it out, and apply it to the affected area to help bring the cyst to a head and encourage drainage. 4. _Avoid scratching_: Try to resist scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation and infection. _Medical Treatments_ 1. _Topical creams or ointments_: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil may help alleviate symptoms. 2. _Oral antibiotics_: If the cysts are infected, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics to help clear the infection. 3. _Minor surgical procedures_: In some cases, your doctor may recommend minor surgical procedures, such as draining the cyst or removing it entirely.
