Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Itchy skin at night, or nocturnal pruritus, is a common condition typically caused by natural bodily processes, conditions that irritate the skin, or medications. Certain fungal infections also cause night time itching.

I'm really concerned about this skin issue I've been having. I've been getting these black spots all over my body for the past two years, and it's getting worse, especially on my hands. My ears are also turning black and my skin is getting darker overall. Do you have any idea what this could be or how I can treat it?

I've been dealing with heavy hairfall and dandruff for years. My dermatologist suggested Folica hair tincture, but ever since I started using it, my hairs been falling out way more. My tests say I dont have any nutritional deficiencies. Should I stop using this stuff, or is this kind of hair loss normal?

- It's common to experience initial hair shedding when starting treatments like Folica, but if the hair loss continues or worsens, it's best to stop using it and consult your dermatologist. They may need to adjust your treatment plan.

I've been dealing with this jock itch on my inner thighs for the past year, and its really bugging me. It seemed to clear up for a bit but then keeps coming back. Sometimes the itching is just unbearable. Ive tried Ayurveda treatments and also used candid and fluconazole. Right now, Im using foredom, which helps suppress it, but sometimes it feels like it suddenly makes things worse. What should I do about this?
