Question 1

Accepted Answer

Jock itch.: Assuming this is jock itch, it could be treated with anti-fungal creams, either by prescription or over-the-counter.  To prevent it, he’d need to keep the area dry and cool in the long term with well ventilated and loose clothing along with baby powder applied locally.

Question 4

why do my body/ skin swell any time i scratch it after it itches me?

and please is there any home remedy cure?

Accepted Answer

Dermatographism: This dermatographism, or skin writing, is akin to having hives and the cause is usually elusive. It may resolve on its own. In the meantime think of anything you recently ate or took that could have triggered this skin reactivity. For relief take an antihistamine like benadryl(causes drowsiness) or claritin(nondrowsy). In my experience, hydroxyzine is most effective(causes drowsiness,need script)

Question 5

hi, i have allergy that causes itching my whole body.inflammation in scratched area.  taking monticope for 8 weeks. it does notprovide permanent cure?

Accepted Answer

Allegra (fexofenadine) 180: Monticope contains montelukast and levoceterizine.  The latter ingredient usually does more for your issues.  Another antihistamine such as Allegra (fexofenadine) 180 mg per dayin addition to the levoceterizine in monticope would be my next step.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer
