Question 1

tiny itchy growth on skin.  itches up like a bug bite only after i scratch it?

Accepted Answer

Papular urticaria: A localized form of hives that comes up after you scratch it is called papular urticaria, and often it is indeed caused by a bug bite. Try applying over-the-counter Hydrocortisone cream instead of scratching it. If it persists, see a dermatologist.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Jock Itch: This very common condition is usually a fungal infection in the warmest and darkest part of your body.  You most likely need an anti-fungal cream, powder or spray.

Question 3

hi. i have dry, itchy, scalpy, flaky, cracking skin around my anus and on buttlocks. it itches very bad. how can i treat that?

Accepted Answer

It sound to me: by the areas involved that you may have PSORIASIS!

My suggestion is that you start by seeing a Board Certified Dermatologist...there are many TREATMENTS if that is the diagnosis.

Over the counter steroid (cortisone) is a FIRST AID you can try....but check with your PCP for any other treatment if you cannot see a Dermatology specialist soon!
Hope this helps!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Confusing but...: The question's wording is confusing, but itching can be due to allergies to something (a doctor's exam, blood tests, or skin tests can help figure out what), but usually there is some rash. Other causes of itching can be liver disease, kidney disease, or other internal problems. Certain medications also cause itching. Priton is an antihistamine that can cause sedation, but may lessen itching.
