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.

Question

I'm in Delhi and dealing with a lot of hairfall. I'm pretty sure it's the water here because there's a lot of salt in it, and it just builds up on my scalp like dandruff. I've tried different oils and shampoos, but nothing seems to be working. I've been oiling my hair regularly, but it's not making any difference. Any advice on what I can do?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with this ringworm issue near my vaginal area. It's getting worse every day with itching, inflammation, a red patch, and dark skin. I've tried using lechensa cream, but it's not helping at all. Can you suggest some cream or treatment that will actually work? I've never had skin problems like this before, and it's really frustrating and upsetting. What should I do?

Question

I'm thinking about getting keloid injections and I'm a bit worried. Can you tell me if these injections have any side effects? Also, what if I have a lot of keloids? Does that change anything? I'm just trying to figure out what to expect.
