Question 1

I've been dealing with this constant itching all over my body for the past couple of weeks. The weird part is that when I itch, my skin starts to swell up and I get these temporary rashes, especially on my back. I'm a bit worried and not sure what's causing it, and I can't get to a good dermatologist right now. Do you have any idea what this might be or what I can do in the meantime?

Accepted Answer

Thats Urticaria,identify the allergen and avoid it,also visit dermatologist for appropriate management

Question 2

I've noticed some black spots on my buttocks and I'm wondering what could be causing them. Do you think they'll fade away on their own, or is there something I should do? If there's a cream that might help reduce them, could you let me know what it is?

Accepted Answer

could be due to post inflamation You can use a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid to exfoliate the skin. However, be gentle, as over-exfoliation can make pigmentation worse.You can use skin-lightening creams that contain ingredients like:

Niacinamide: Helps lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.
Vitamin C: Reduces pigmentation and brightens the skin.
Hydroquinone: A bleaching agent that can help fade dark spots over time (but should be used with caution and under dermatological supervision).
Alpha Arbutin: A mild skin lightener that reduces dark spots.

Question 3

I'm dealing with some really irritating itching and inflammation around my inner thighs and below the scrotum, and it's been going on for about two months now. I noticed it started when it was super humid, and I was walking a lot with sweaty thighs. Before, I used to just apply Itch Guard, and that seemed to do the trick, but this time it hasn't helped. I've also tried using Dexoderm Terbest cream, but I'm still struggling with the same issue. Could you help me figure out what else I should do?
