This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am suffering from itching all over the body wherever there is hair in the body like in the private parts hands, leg, thighs, stomach, and back, and the scalp hair quickly falls out when I scratch wherever it itches, and skin flakes fall like rain when I comb my hair. Suffering from 12 years from this problem. Allopathy is not helping much.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Sweat glands help to regulate body temperature and moisturize skin. In hair areas, due to sweat, there is a possibility to develop a fungal or bacterial infection. So keep clean and dry that area and apply Mahamarichyadi oil (Maricha, Piper nigrum, Nishoth, Operculina Turpethum) to affected areas during the bath you should use Tetmosol soap (Sulfiram). At the scalp apply Kerala Neelibhringadi oil (Taila, Neeli, Bringaraja) at the hair root and do a gentle massage with a fingertip for 10 minutes daily at night and wash it with shikakai powder in the morning.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
