Why Is Itching on Left Side Only?
Itching only on left side particular side only
Dr. Deepak Jakhar
Dermatologist
Answered on 3rd Sept '24
When the itching is only on one side of your body, it might mean that something is irritant your skin. Occasionally, allergies or dermatitis that is caused by eczema can be the reasons for that. Moreover, nerve disorders or infections may be the causes. Look if you have any rashes or skin discoloration. Try to refrain from scratching as it may cause an infection. The application of a light moisturizer or a calm cream can give some relief.

Can I Use Omeprazole Tablets For Mouth Ulcers?
I'm 20 years old female, Im having mouth ucers on and off. What could be the issue? Can I use omeprazole tablets for this?
Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 3rd Sept '24
Stress, neglecting oral hygiene, and certain foods can cause mouth ulcers. Usually, Omeprazole tablets are not used for the treatment of mouth ulcers as they mainly aid with stomach issues. For the treatment of ulcers, you can use over-the-counter remedies such as oral gels or rinses to reduce the pain and facilitate the healing process. Do not forget to maintain a proper dental hygiene routine and a balanced diet to keep them from returning.

Answered on 3rd Sept '24
Rashes in that area can be caused by different things like clothing irritation, permeation, or a skin condition. The inflammation you are experiencing might be the reason for the itching and pain you feel. To maintain a healthy regime, keep the area clean and dry, wear non-restrictive clothing, and apply a gentle cream or ointment to calm the skin. However, if it doesn't improve, you should see a dermatologist for more advice.

You may have hyperpigmentation after inflammation, which is a consequence of skin inflammation such as a fungal infection. The dark color of the skin is the result of the skin's recovery mechanism. A gentle exfoliating scrub or a vitamin C-rich skin-brightening cream are examples, you can fade the pigmentation by trying them. It is important to use an SPF product as UV rays can aggravate the pigmentation.

There is a chance you are experiencing folliculitis which is a common condition. Folliculitis is a term used to describe a situation when hair follicles become inflamed and infected. Symptoms can consist of red spots, itching, and in some cases pus formation. Friction, sweat, or bacteria are the possible culprits for this. If it doesn't improve, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further assistance.

How can I treat pimples and blackheads effectively?
I am 23 years old male i have pimples on my forehead for last 1 months and also blackhead, I had used some cream which was useful in past , but now it's not showing results
Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 3rd Sept '24
Pimples can occur due to excess oil production in the skin and impurities clogging the pores with dirt or dead skin cells. Sometimes, the cream you used before may no longer work because your skin can develop a tolerance to it. I suggest you try a different cream or face wash containing either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, which can help unclog pores and treat your pimples and blackheads. Remember to wash your face gently twice a day and avoid touching your face too much. If the problem persists or worsens, don’t hesitate to consult a dermatologist for a thorough examination and personalized treatment.

The peeling skin could be caused by irritation, dryness, or an allergic reaction. Perhaps, the soreness comes from the skin being a bit burned. Keep your hands moisturized with lotion and don't pick at the skin. If it's not getting any better or if it's getting worse, visit a dermatologist.

If a dog happens to cut your skin, it can be the start of an infection. The wound should be washed with soap and water to clean it thoroughly. Be alert for symptoms of an infection such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. If you see these signs, it is necessary to see a doctor for further assessment and treatment.

Dr. Anju Methil

Acne occurs when the pores get clogged with oil and bacteria. Having a bunch of medications and no benefits can be a terrible thing. It is crucial to keep in mind that everyone's skin is unique. Often an easy skincare program using mild products is the right route. Eliminate harsh chemicals and see a dermatologist to provide you with individualized recommendations.

You might be suffering from a fungal skin infection known as ringworm. Ringworm can turn your skin into white, reddish, thick, dry, and scaly. Apart from that, the skin can get very itchy. Ringworm is a type of fungus that spreads through skin-to-skin contact. To help get rid of ringworm, you can use antifungal cream. However, it would be best if you cleaned and dried the area.

At this age, hair fall and thinning can be upsetting. These problems can be due to various factors like heredity, stress, diet, or hormonal changes. Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used together to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. It is best to visit a dermatologist to know how often to use them. Starting the treatment is the first step to improving your hair condition, but you should also be patient and wait for some time to see the results.
