Question

I've been dealing with chickenpox and noticed now that my entire body is itching, even in places where there are no rashes. It's been 12 days since I first noticed the symptoms. Is this normal or could it be something else?

It is normal to experience itching even in areas where there are no chickenpox rashes during the recovery phase. To help alleviate the itching, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply Calamine lotion to the affected areas for relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid scratching to prevent any potential skin infections.

Question

I'm dealing with hidradenitis suppurativa in my armpits, buttocks, sides, and pubic area. It all started when I was in Bangalore. Initially, I had these inflamed cysts under my arm that disappeared on their own, but then they reappeared and started draining. I saw a dermatologist in Bangalore for six months, but nothing really improved. I haven't sought any treatment since then, but now I'm searching for a good doctor in Delhi NCR who can help. Any advice or recommendations?

Question

I've got a question about how I'm using my hair lotions. I put one on during the day after shampooing, and then I use a different one at night when I'm going to bed. Do I need to wash my hair again before putting on the night lotion, or can I just apply it straight away?

Question

I've been struggling with really bad acne rosacea for the past 67 years and it hasn't improved with any of the treatments I've tried in Allopathy. I'm curious to know if there's any way homeopathy could help. Do you think it might be a better option for me?
