What do you do when your but itches and you scratch it but it still itches?

You could try cleaning yourself carefully, rinsing with a lot of fresh water, then using an astringent such as Witch Hazel. It may be an allergy. If it continues, you should speak to a doctor about it. It might be poison ivy as well, but don't scratch in public.:)

What causes intense itching and crawling sensations and sores all over the body that do not heal but ooze fluid when covered by a bandage?

Sounds like Morgellons Disease. Latest case I saw was a result of mercury poisoning, due to a tooth filling leaking.

Some sufferers are believed to be delusional by doctors, and may be, while others are cured once the source of the "poisoning" is determined.

Yellow discharge with a very intense itch?

A change in colour of discharge and an intense itch needs to be checked out by a doctor. It sounds to me like you have thrush. This is a bacterial infection which is caused by too much yeast.

The side affects are severe redness of the vulva (often caused by itching) change in discharge which can sometimes look a little like cottage cheese.

If you do have this, it can be treated easily. There are creams, pills and Pessary's. Your doctor will tell you which is best for you.

This is not a diagnosis though so please do get checked out by your doctor to make sure it is nothing else which needs treating.

I have black itchy skin patches in the genital and thigh area possibly a side effect of jock itch medicine How can I make it go away?

If it is itchy then the jock itch isn't done, add anti-fungal powder daily until a week after all symptoms are gone.

Remember to keep your downstairs dry, or you'll have more fungal growth.

What causes sudden burning and itching red rash on wrists that moves up the arms and to the ear canal clavicle face and head with fever?

This red and itching rash may be due to an ingested allergen...such as food or drug. If you have never been tested for food allergies, it is recommended that you do so. Celiac (destruction of the intestines due to allergy to gluten: especially wheat gluten) disease is hard to diagnose but I have seen bright red ears associated with the disease. Since the problem also includes a fever, you may want to take these symptoms seriously and see your doctor.

Can severe itching of hands and feet be due to the menopause?

I have a very similar problem (except I'm 36 and nowhere near menopause.) But I've noticed a severe itching, mostly on my feet, at night about a week or so before my period. I have researched extensively, and found something called "autoimmune progesterone dermatitis". I asked my primary care doctor about it, and he says he's never heard of it. I got a GYN referral, and spoke to the head of the GYN department at the most prestigious hospital in my city, and he says he's never heard of it. I am really, really discouraged because this keeps me awake for hours at night!

My conclusion after the internet research was that the best treatment for this is a hysterectomy. Which is NOT a good option for me.

Anyway, I've tried Sarna (itching cream), lotrimin lotion, benadryl lotion, etc. all to no avail. Most other things I've researched suggest it may be a fungal infection, dry skin, etc. But my feet look perfectly normal and I know it's not a fungus or dry skin.

So I'd suggest researching autoimmune progesterone dermatitis, and I hope YOU can find a physician or alternative health provider who can help you with it! Please post an answer if anyone knows more about this!

What do you do when your butt wont stop itching?

First you scratch. Then you scratch it some more. Then you scratch like there's no tommorow. Your itch should subside after this. If your itch does not, you should see a doctor who will either remove your buttocks from your body entirely, or advise you to use more soap when you wash.

ANSWER:

I know how you feel being a woman that only sleep with one man, but before I can tell you, my question is how long have you have this uncomfortable feelings? Is this your first time to have the itching sensation right after sex or a few hours after sex. It does make a lot of difference because if it's a transmitted disease it will take 24 to 48 hours before woman can catch it or even feel it. Sometimes it has to do with not being clean before sex, woman like us to clean ourself before and after, even a man needs to do this even though we are wearing underwear. If this continued yes by all means you need to see a doctor and tell him what's going on with you..

What is the best medicine for shingles the itching and breakout is unbearable?

I have had shingles twice. The first time it was misdiagnosed by an ER doctor as a major migraine headache, so I had to wait until the second day when I had 300+ bumps on the left side of my face and scalp. Yes, shingles is hell. I was given a very strong anti-viral medication, an injection of strong pain medicine, and a soothing cream. Because I was well into the outbreak, I suffered for three weeks. I also kept the left side of my face and scalp covered with a heating pad.( Be careful....don't fry your skin) One of my friends who has shingles often on the area of her waist takes oatmeal baths the relieve the itching. The second time when the shingles bumps starting appearing in exactly the same area, my doctor prescribed a strong anti-viral medicine that stopped the shingles within a week. What I know now is that if someone in your family had problems with shingles( in my case, it was my mother), you have a tendency to have an outbreak. If your immune system gets compromised by fatigue, a cold, etc....., the virus might rear its very ugly head. Shingles can leave severe nerve pain. Either Lyrica or Neurontin usually work to relieve that pain. After the lesions are healed, any good sin oil will help diminish the scars. I have had shingles twice.

Why do your feet itch when you drink alcohol?

You could be referring to muscle spasms, which are usually the result of not drinking enough water the night before. Alcohol is a diuretic, so not only are you typically replacing water for alcohol but the alcohol itself is ridding your body of water more quickly than normal. The end result is your muscles cramping up from lack of hydration. Try drinking a glass of water for every few dirnk you have. You'll go to the bathroom a little more, but you might find you feel a lot better the next day.

Can amoxicillin kill scabies?

Amoxicillin cannot be used to treat nor cure scabies, but it is often prescribed when you have scabies to help in the fighting off of bacteria. When the blisters form on your skin and you scratch them whether knowingly or not, you cause infection. The Amoxicillin is only used in your regime to keep down further infection with your condition. If you have scabies, I would suggest taking it while you otherwise treat the scabies.
