Question 3

Ive had itchy, painful bumps on my butt cheeks for over 10 years. They come and go, but now theyre harder to drain. They also sometimes appear on my inner thighs and sides. Any advice on what this could be?

Accepted Answer

Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing recurrent episodes of boils or abscesses. These are usually caused by bacterial infections of the hair follicles. To help treat and prevent these bumps, I recommend practicing good hygiene by keeping the affected areas clean and dry. You can also apply warm compresses to the bumps to help them come to a head and drain. Additionally, you may benefit from using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection.

Question 4

I am having very rough and dry skin at one finger from last 2 years. If I look closely it looks like drought land. Sometime it itches too.

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing a condition called eczema. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing 1% hydrocortisone to help with the dryness and itching. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh soaps to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 6

Ive been dealing with dandruff for a while, and I was prescribed Topisal 6%, but it wasnt available at the store, so they gave me Propysalic NF instead. Is Propysalic NF just as effective as Topisal 6%, or should I look for something else?

Accepted Answer

Propysalic NF contains clobetasol propionate and salicylic acid, which are effective in treating dandruff. However, it may have a different potency compared to Topisal 6%, which contains clobetasol propionate only. Propysalic NF can be effective in treating dandruff, but if you are not seeing the desired results, you may consider switching back to Topisal 6% for better control of your dandruff. Follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for optimal results.
