It sounds like you are having a very annoying itch and feeling uncomfortable not only due to the skin irritation but also due to the secondary infections or probably the reinfestation, besides. Maybe eradication of scabies is not always that easy. Be sure to launder all the clothes, and bed linens on a hot wash to kill the remaining mites. Also, think of another treatment application one week after the first one for a better cure. If any symptoms are still there consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.

Red rases in my face nd it’s itching. And itching in my scalp nd hair white issue

Male | 24

It seems that dandruff might be one of the conditions. The main symptom of dandruff is itching, and white particles of skin can be seen on hair. Sometimes, this condition might also produce red patches on the face, especially around the hairline area. The pathogen fungi on your scalp cause dandruff. For example, choose a shampoo that is specifically designed for dandruff. In particular, washing hair regularly along with the stress management procedure may also be beneficial for you.

I am a boy and I am 22 years old. I have a lot of itching under and around my penis. More this summer. Been using Ringguard for a long time. When I use the ointment it goes away. If left out it itches again. Tell me how to get rid of it

Male | 22

You may have jock itch, a fungal infe­ction. Itching around the penis is a symptom. It grows in warm, moist areas, so summe­r can cause it. Ringguard helps, but it may return. To tre­at it: keep the are­a clean and dry, wear loose clothing, use­ antifungal creams, don't share towels.

Why does my tip of my scrotum have a rash looking redness as well as my testicles appear to be very red and is itchy?

Male | 17

You may have jock itch, a fungal issue­. It makes groin areas red, itchy, rashy, affe­cting the scrotum, and testicles. In warm, moist places le­t it grows. Try drugstore anti-fungal creams. Clean, and dry the­ zone to avoid return. Jock itch thrives whe­n sweaty, warm. Over-the-counte­r creams help clear up the­ fungus rapidly. However, kee­ping areas dry is crucial. That prevents future­ jock itch flare-ups. So cleanliness matte­rs alongside medication.

I'm 25 years old and I have very old dark mosquito bite marks and scars on arms and legs. Please tell me how to get rid of it and make it fade.

Female | 25

The marks are the result of the body's response to the mosquito's saliva. They may gradually diminish by themselves over time, however, you can also apply over-the-counter creams with ingredients such as hydroquinone or vitamin E that will help in the process. Remember, use sunscreen and cover your skin to avoid more bites.

I suggest visiting a reputed dermatologist for your problem. Based on the severity of your acne scars and pores and other factors, the doctor may recommend the best treatment option for you which can include a combination of chemical peels, micro needling, laser treatments, or topical skincare products.
