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.

Hey, I've been taking Follihair tablets for over a year now, and I've just picked up another year's supply. Do you think it's okay to keep using them for this long? Also, I've noticed that the ingredients have changed a bit. The old tablets had 10 mg of biotin, but the new ones only have 30 mcg, along with some other new vitamins and minerals. With such a big difference in biotin, do you think the new tablets will still work as well as the old ones? I'm mainly asking because biotin is supposed to be a key ingredient for hair growth, right?
Biotin is indeed an important ingredient for promoting hair growth, but the newly added vitamins and minerals in the new formulation may also contribute to overall hair health. It is advisable to continue using the new formulation and monitor any changes in hair growth or health. It is generally safe to use follihair tablets for an extended period of time, as they are commonly used for hair growth and hair health.

I'm dealing with jock itch and it's been about three weeks now. I tried using coconut oil for the first two weeks which gave me some temporary relief, but it didn't completely get rid of it. This past week, I've started using Itch Guard for about four days, and now I'm noticing some bumps where the rash is. Any idea what's going on? Could you suggest some cream or treatment that might actually cure this?
You may be suffering from tinea cruris which is fungal infection of the inner thighs and buttocks area. It can be treated by taking four to six weeks of anti fungal treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Do not use soap over that area. Mistreatment with over the counter Steroid containing creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, hh zole, candid b etc lead to repeated case of recurrence and also side effects due to application. Do not use steroid containing combination creams.
