Question 2

dandruff and dry skin i have patches of dry itchy skin on my scalp and hair-line. i also have a few patches of red itchy skin near my eyes and eyebrows. any idea what would be the cause of this and any solutions would be great too.

Accepted Answer

Thanks : Thanks for your question.

The areas you describe would fit a diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis, which usually involves redness and flaking of the skin at the scalp, near eyebrows, around the nose, or in other parts of the body.  This could also be eczema or possibly psoriasis, which are diseases of the skin caused by inflammation.  I would recommend a visit to your doctor - it would likely only take a quick look to tell the difference and to prescribe the appropriate treatment.  While these are some likely reasons, for skin problems, the only way to know for sure is to see the rash.

I hope this helps.  Thanks!

Question 3

what are the causes of red itchy bump around the eye?

Accepted Answer

Chalazion/hordeolum: Most often, this finding would be the result of a blocked and infected gland or hair follicle of the eyelid. Depending on the location, it could be called a chalazion or hordeolum (stye). Treatment with warm compresses will resolve many of these lesions. See an eye md if the bump is not resolved within a few days of using warm compresses, or anytime if it worsens. Some need to be drained with surg.

Question 8

does urithitis cause stabbing pain and a itchy red rash on the head of the penis?

Accepted Answer

: No. The only symptoms of urethritis are discharge from the penis and sometimes pain or discomfort on urination. "Itchy red rash" suggests balanitis (the medical term for inflammation of the head of the penis), most common in uncircumcised men. Unlike urethritis, it's not an STD. Conceivably herpes could do this, but only if the rash includes blisters or open sores. See a doctor for diagnosis, Rx.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

: most likely could be a chalazion, stye, which is a blocked oil gland,  the best course is to apply a hot compress (wash cloth with hot water from a sink) until the rag is cool.  However, the best thing to do is to see an eye care professional.

Accepted Answer

Inflammed eye: could  mean  your eye  is  red, swollen, having a discharge that is yellow or green. Due to multiple causes,  you could do a video consult if you cant see your eye doctor soon.  Best of health in the new year.
