Hello, I am suffering from a dry skin itching problem. Please suggest some treatments.

Answered by Farida Lokhandwala

Hello, The best solution for dry itchy skin is to moisturize it daily especially immediately after your bath when the skin is still damp, to lock the moisture in. Apart from this, there are few tips that will keep your skin from drying up like avoid washing your hands frequently, bathe with lukewarm or cool water and pat yourself dry. Further, avoid using products containing alcohol as it dries out the skin. Wear soft cotton or silk clothes. But if you have extreme itchiness, then you should visit a doctor as it might be due to some allergic reaction or skin disorder such as psoriasis or eczema. Hope our answer helps you. With this we would also like to bring to your attention our page which is built around your needs and requirements, it has all the relevant service providers - Skin Treatment doctors in Mumbai, let us know if your area of residence is different, and feel free to approach us whenever in any doubt or confusion!

Questions & Answers on "Dermatology" (2687)

I had severe coughing in the month of December. And lately there is some pain in my lower left breast area. I think its some muscle or vein. The pain is only there when i cough or sneeze or while lying down or if I try to move while lying down. Else there is no pain at all. Im 27 years old and not married. I have never had any kind of pain before. Any suggestions would be helpful..

Female | 27

It sounds like you might be experiencing muscle strain or irritation in the chest area, possibly due to severe coughing. When we cough frequently, it can put strain on the muscles around the ribs. This might explain the pain when you cough, sneeze, or shift positions. I recommend resting and avoiding activities that exacerbate the discomfort. Applying a warm compress may also provide relief. However, since you’re experiencing persistent pain, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any other underlying issues. They can offer a more tailored assessment and treatment plan.

I am a 25 year old male and I have a skin condition around my testicles. It has been for over 2 years now. It appears to be a like a patch on the skin around my testicles. I recently got married 3 months ago. About a week ago, my crotch started giving out a pungent smell similar to that of chlorine despite washing it several times a day. Also, I observed small rashes on my scrotum and the skin peels when scratching it. Please I need your help.

Male | 25

You might have a skin condition known as tinea cruris, or jock itch. This is a fungal infection that often affects the groin area. Symptoms include red, itchy patches of skin, a bad smell, and peeling skin. It can be caused by sweating, tight clothing, or poor hygiene. To treat it, it is important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use antifungal creams.

I have white dots on my testicles

Male | 25

Your testis might have some white spots, which probably are Fordyce spots. The latter is a harmless issue and common. They are small, raised, and painless. Oil glands that secrete too much oil end up clogging pores, and thus, we see these dots on the skin. Emotional tension or fluctuations in the levels of hormones could cause them. Usually, Fordyce spots do not require any treatment.

25 year old men, i have bumps on my penis, top left part, seems like herpes, im not sure, my groing is itching

Male | 25

Lumps that develop near the penis may be caused by several factors. They may be herpes if they're either tender or similar to blisters. Moreover, among other signs, you might also experience some irritation in the groin. Herpes is an infectious virus that can be transmitted from one individual to another through sexual intercourse. However, to make sure, it is better to visit your healthcare provider and undergo the necessary tests. Proper medication and expert advice are necessary for the prevention and care of it.

My mother has developed red patches on skin all over her body. Initially it occurs as a small red patch and then it widens and spreads . These red patches have occurred on her neck, breast, tummy, legs, head, back, elbow , everywhere. She has also developed cuts on her finger. It itches and burns very much. What is the diagnosis of this skin disease?

Female | 55

Your description of the symptoms leads me to believe that your mother has a skin condition called eczema. Eczema is characterized by the appearance of red, itchy patches on the skin. It can be caused or aggravated by certain substances or environmental factors. To alleviate the symptoms, it is necessary to maintain the skin's hydration and avoid irritants. Using mild soaps and wearing comfortable, breathable clothes can also be helpful.

Our Child Was Handling Rabbits As His Pet, Due to Which He's Got Rashes Everywhere And Itching.

Male | 10

You need to visit dermatologist immediately if your child is experiencing rashes and itching due to handling pets. Depending on the severity of the reaction, the doctor may prescribe an anti-itch cream or an oral medication. By that time keep the area clean and dry. avoid touching the rabbits until the rash has cleared. Ensure that the rabbits are healthy and free of any parasites or other conditions that could have caused the reaction. Use gloves in the future when handling them.
