Question 1

I have got severe boils, which type of doctor should I consult with ? Should I consult a surgeon or a dermatologist ?

Accepted Answer

You should consult with a dermatologist for the treatment of severe boils. They specialize in skin conditions and can provide you with the appropriate care. In the meantime, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and apply it to the affected area twice a day to help with healing.

Question 2

I have small blister like rashes over my fingers shoulders and neck. When I went to a doctor, he told me it was because of poor hygiene and prescribed me a benzyl benzoate solution (ascabiol) and cetrazine. How much time will it take to heal?

Accepted Answer

The blister-like rashes on your fingers, shoulders, and neck can be uncomfortable and concerning.

Diagnosis and Treatment

The doctor's diagnosis suggests that the rashes might be caused by scabies, a skin infestation caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The prescribed medications are:

1. Benzyl benzoate solution (Ascabiol): A topical scabicide used to treat scabies.
2. Cetrazine: An antihistamine that can help relieve itching and reduce the allergic response.

Healing Time

The healing time for scabies can vary depending on several factors, such as:

1. Severity of infestation: More severe cases may take longer to heal.
2. Effectiveness of treatment: Adherence to the treatment regimen and proper application of medications can impact healing time.
3. Individual response: People's responses to treatment can vary.

Generally, with proper treatment, scabies can be cured within:

- 2-4 weeks: Symptoms like itching and rash may start to subside.
- 4-6 weeks: Skin lesions and rashes may take longer to heal completely.
