I'm dealing with these small, blister-like rashes on my fingers, shoulders, and neck. The doctor said it's due to poor hygiene and recommended benzyl benzoate solution as well as cetirizine. I'm really curious, how long will it take for these to heal?
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.

I'm really concerned about my hair fall since it has become so dry. I've tried oil baths and a bunch of homemade remedies, but nothing seems to work. Could this be due to climate change, and do you have any suggestions on what else I might do to improve the condition of my hair?
