Why do I itch at night only?
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.

View allI'm really concerned about my skin pigmentation. I've been using a skin shine cream for about a month now, and while it did make my skin look paler, once I stopped using it, I noticed the pigmentation came back. Is it safe to continue using this cream for a longer period? Or is there a better way to handle this so my skin doesn't keep reverting when I stop?

I'm really worried about my little nephewhe's just a year old and we've noticed a few small white spots on his hand. My brother has had vitiligo since he was a kid, but thankfully it's under control now. I'm concerned though; is it possible that vitiligo can be passed down from father to son? And if it is, how can we effectively treat it for the baby to keep it from becoming a big issue as he grows up?
In conclusion, while vitiligo can have a genetic link, its not certain that your nephew will develop it just because his father has it. Consulting a specialist will give you peace of mind and help ensure the right approach to treatment if needed.

I applied lime on a mole on my face on August 1st, 2017, and it led to a burn. The burned skin came off on August 7th, but now the area is red. I'm currently using Fucidin ointment as advised by my doctor, but it's still red. My engagement is on August 25th, 2017. Can you suggest how I can heal it or make it better?
Given the burn injury and prolonged redness, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice; in addition to Fucidin ointment, apply topical treatments like aloe vera gel, silicone sheets, or vitamin E oil to promote healing and reduce redness; also, try cool compresses, avoid direct sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to minimize scarring and hyperpigmentation, and hopefully, your skin will improve by your engagement date.
