Should you use clotrimazole or butenafine hydrochloride on jock itch?

I read a study that said both drug are affective, but Butenafine heals faster. It would make sense (though I've never tried it) if one switched between them day to day. That way the infection wouldn't build up a resistance to either drug.

If the rash is peeling, it may help to mix in some Hydrocortizone cream. And perhaps some Neosporen at times.

Can taking an antihistamine stop itching?

Yes. Usually a wheal response, also known as swelling is caused by your body producing a histamine. What this does is allow fluid to pass from small blood capillaries into the surrounding tissue. This allows the fluid to surround or envelope an irritant such as a scratch or insect bite. The final result is an irritating itch.

By taking an antihistamine, you reduce the amount of histamine your body produces resulting in the lessening of the itch. This can be taken orally such as benadryl tablets or as a topical ointment (outside the body applied to the affected area). Please take the time to ask a doctor or nurse how this may have an adverse effect upon you as some people who take antihistamines get a energy burst while others feel sedated or sleepy.

How can i tell if i have scabies or shingles?

You can tell if you got scabies or dermatitis if you have itching, especially at night rashes, especially between the fingers sores (abrasions) on the skin from scratching and digging thin, pencil-mark lines on the skin mites may be more widespread on a baby's skin, causing pimples over the trunk, or small blisters over the palms and soles.

What are all the symptoms of scabies?

The most common symptom of scabies is itching which tends to be constant and extremely intense. The itch will usually become worse at night. For the first week, the itch may be subtle, but gradually becomes worse until it may become difficult to sleep at all. What makes the itch of scabies distinctive is that fact that it is relentless in contrast to other 'itchy' conditions such as eczema which rarely prevents the sufferer from sleeping. You will also likely notice small burrows under the surface of the skin and sores caused by itching.

What causes a constant itch on your right side that you constantly have to rub?

Subluxation could be the cause. It is very important that you visit a Chiropractor to assess the problem. You can get x-rays and a detailed physical of your nervous system, spine, and overall health. A subluxation is when your spine is misaligned which causes either pinched nerves, damaged nerves, damaged discs, etc. Your nerves are like the life line to your organs. If it is pinched or not allowed to function 100%, then it is like pinching a water hose. You can have pain just about anywhere from a pinched nerve. Everyone can benefit from Chiropractic, especially you at this time.

What medicine kills scabies?

Scabies, being mites (arachnids), are highly resistant to most insectacides, especially considering that they burrow in subcutaneously. So any toxin you use will have to traver the dermis intact, and without making you sick. In the old days, before the banning, DDT was used effectively for this. Allopathic remedies include: permethrin 5%-- a scabicide. You apply it topically and leave it on for 12-24 hours. One does should be enough, although you can do two if symptoms recurr. Homepathic remedies include making a paste of neem (which I am told is Azadiracta indica and with which I have no experience whatsoever) and Turmeric. Apply this paste to infected region for --->>>FIFTEEN DAYS!!!!<<<---. Note that scabies is contagious, and tends to infect other areas of your body, so 15 days is -- to me at least -- extreme. And is that weren't enough, Turmeric is a natural yellow dye. Scabies is stunningly uncomfortable. The saying is, "they won't kill you, and that's the BAD news". It's also contagious. I'm going to recommend the Allopathic route on this one, although I have included the homepathic method for those that request it, with that sort of willpower and who love of the color yellow :} Please excuse me for answering with allopathic and homeopathic remedies. Just want to help here.

Is pressure in the head normal following wisdom tooth extraction?

I cannot be medically sure of this, but I believe it may be true. Part of the risk of having your wisdom teeth removed is their proximity to part of your sinus cavities, which run much farther around your head than you may realize. If these are putting pressure on your sinuses, it could probably cause sinus-related pressure and pain. I just had 3 of 4 wisdom teeth out this morning, and I can't be sure yet, but there seems to be less pressure in my head/sinuses. As I said, I cannot be medically sure, but it makes sense.

Why do mosquite bites itch?

Mosquitoes are a living flying syringes. Not all bite except the female version. Firstly it is good to understand why mosquito bites. This will help us in knowing why the bites itch and what it does when the biting takes place. The female mosquito, when bites pierces the skin with needle like mouth known as the proboscis. So once it has bitten you and the proboscis breaks through you skin and is in effect, it will look for blood vessels and this where it punctures. All this happens very fast than we could even think.

When the above process takes place, there happens slight itching. The entering of its fluids to the body causes it to itch. After the biting is over, there releases Histamines as an immune response which causes swelling in the region where it bit. This is also a cause as to why we feel the itch reaction. There is also an allergic response after the release of histamines which is all natural and is a way how our body protects itself.

Does azithromycin make you itch?

I developed small red, slightly raised bumps all over my belly, chest, and back on day four of taking a Z- pak. By the end of the day they had spread to my upper arms and thighs. By the second day of rash (I had not taken my final dose of the z-pak per my doctor), it had spread down my legs, arms, and up my neck. It started itching a little, mostly on my arms and the soles of my feet. Rash day three was far worse. It had spread up my face and developed into splotchy raised red patches all over me, and itched slightly more. I went to Urgent Care and when they heard that Benadryl was having zero effect, I was prescribed steroid pills. Those helped almost immediately! I hope this description helps others, because I was completely panicked as to what I had.ive never reacted this way to a medication before, in over 30 years of my life.

Why do you have itching and burning skin after cold exposure?

ANSWER

Generally, your skin will not itch just because of the cold. Instead, it is probably dry. Cold air is usually dry (warm air is moist, which is why it feels muggy in the summertime), and this brings moisture out fo the skin. Dry skin can be flaky, and it is instinct to sctratch at it to get the flaky dead skin off and because dry skin can be irritating to the new skin underneath it.
