Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Tinea corporis and tinea capitis are fungal infections causing that severe itching. I'd recommend reaching out to the dermatologist again for a follow-up. They might need to adjust the treatment or consider other options. Meanwhile, keeping the affected areas clean and dry can help ease the itching.

Is it possible to get rid my stretchmark

Female | 27

Stretch marks are lines that appear on the skin when it is stretched a lot, such as during pregnancy. They may start as red or purple but gradually fade to a lighter color. To help reduce their appearance, you can use moisturizers or creams containing retinol or hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight and drinking plenty of water can also help. However, remember that reducing stretch marks takes time, so be patient and stick to your skincare routine consistently.

My boyfriend has an infected wound in his calf which started of as a small itchy spot that later became a red spot and later an infected wound that's made his the surrounding area swollen right down to his ankles. The glands in his groin are now painful too. Please advise what type of antibiotic would be suitable for this?

Male | 41

Your boyfriend may have a severe skin infection that’s spreading. The redness, swelling, and pain—coupled with swollen glands in the groin—indicate that it might be a bacterial infection. To cure this, he may require a course of antibiotics such as penicillin or cephalosporin which can help to fight off the infection. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

Face pimple and itching and spot

Female | 23

Pimples are a result of pore closures on the skin due to the plugs made of oil and dirt. Itching might be a symptom of your skin being inflamed. To relieve the problem, gently clean your skin with a mild cleaner, don't pick or squeeze the pimple, and use a spot treatment with ingredients such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

My skin is very dull and roughness my skin is no glow and shine and very dry skin

Female | 29

Seems like your skin is not shining with the desired brightness and is rather dull, rough, and dry. When skin reflects this quality, it could be a sign that it is not receiving enough water give and nutrients. The skin can become dry due to things like hot showers, harsh soaps, and not drinking enough water. Using gentle cleansers, drinking water, and applying moisturizer can help to the skin regain its glow and softness.
