Question 4

upper tailbone been itching 3 days between buttocks mainly notice itching in shower i just sprayed tinatin for athletes foot there will that fix it?

Accepted Answer

Itch: Itch in that area is often due to moisture or friction. Occasionally a yeast infection is the cause. If tinactin isn't effective, keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight jeans, wear white cotton underwear and apply a cortisone type ointment. If rash appears have your physician examine the area.

Question 5

i have numbness in tailbone area, very dry labia looks, like reptile skin, itching, discoloration of labia almost bruised looking. doesnt hurt to urinate or shower, do have pain after skin is touched. was treated with diflucan for yeast monday?

Accepted Answer

Yeast vaginitis: I can't associate sacral-coccyxgeal numbness with the yeast vaginitis, but itching is common. The labial changes appear chronic &amp; more than what yeast vulval infections cause. In my experience, onetime oral diflucan is more effective in younger women so you might also apply antiyeast  cream to the vulva. Consult a dermatologist as needed for further evaluation of the skin problems.

Question 6

the side of pantie line itches what is it?

Accepted Answer

Itch: Pressure and warm sites tend to be susceptible areas for rash. Any rash can be itchy, although hives tend to be red, raised and mosquito-bite like rashes that are very itchy. Topical anti-itch cream is a start. If it doesn't resolve or spreads, see a doctor for a true diagnosis.

Question 7

i have a place. on my back that allways itches?

Accepted Answer

Itchy Back: Too bad i cannot see exactly where this itchy spot is on your back. If it's near the shoulder blade, on one side, there is a condition called brachioradial pruritus. It is thought that this condition may be a result of a long-ago injury to some of the vertebrae in your spine. Your general physician would be in better shape to see exactly where this "place" is.

Question 8

Itches: Not usually. Using pain medications for an itch may blunt the itch feeling but you will still itch. You have to find out why you have the itch. Topical creams may help.
