I am having a non-itchy foot rash. Why?

Hello doctor,

I have noticed some rash on my right feet. It is not itchy but very rough. I have been massaging for three months with ghee (clarified butter), olive oil, and coconut oil but it has not reduced a bit rather gone a little darker. I have very extremely dry feet.

What could cause skin infections with itching on the wrist?

Hello doctor,

I have developed a skin infection on my right-hand wrist, and I have attached a picture for reference. This has occurred five to six times in the past. The last occurrence was triggered by tying a thread around my hand. However, the cause of the current episode is unknown to me. Previously, the doctor prescribed Clavam 625 (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) after Mometasone plus Sertaconazole cream failed to provide relief. This time, I have taken seven tablets of Clavam, but the symptoms persist. The area is slightly itchy. Could you please advise why I keep experiencing this recurring skin infection?

What to do if area between thigh and abdomen is dark?

Hello doctor,

The joint area between my thigh and abdomen has become darker than the normal skin tone. The skin texture has also changed and itches a lot. When I scratch in the dry condition, flake-like particles come out of it. I am not sure whether it is a fungal infection or something else. It irritates me a lot. Please suggest a remedy.

Do tiny raised red spots on the inner arms warrant concern?

Hi doctor,

I have some tiny red spots on my inner arms. I have had it for a few days. They are slightly raised, but not much at all, and they do not itch or hurt. I do have psoriasis on my ankle, which I have had for a few months now. I also had a UTI and took antibiotics to treat it a little more than a month ago. I am wondering if I should go in to see a doctor about it. I am currently on Zoloft and birth control pills.
