Very dry skin

Had HA and stent fitted last December. On aspirin, clopidogrel, bisoprolol, ramipril, atovorstatin, pantoprazole. Has anyone experienced very dry skin all over, especially on legs? I am using aqueous cream twice a day but skin keeps flaking off. Would one of these tablets cause this? Lily

Phimosis stretching methods or techniques?

Hi, I have recently been to a gp who believes i have phimosis. I'm not sure how bad it is however, because they were vague in their description. My penis is quite tight, and sometimes can be uncomfortable... the doctor prescribed an antiseptic cream from memory, but im wondering if there are stretching

Eczema, Rosacea or both?

Hello all, I'm new here. After having several appointments with the GP with no result I wanted to seek some advice online before splashing the cash on a private dermatologist. I'll start by saying I've had eczema all my life (25, male) and as I've gotten older it's been manageable with a topical steroid

Inflamed cuts/wounds

Is it the Pred or old age that makes it difficult to treat inflamed wounds? I always healed very well but now, even if I only catch myself on something, or even if I get a bad spot, things take ages to heal. I use antiseptic cream, cover the open wound with sterile pads but they take weeks (sometimes

Algesal Cream

I have found something that helps. When my legs start getting painful, it always starts in a different place, arch of my foot, back of my knee, thigh, calf, really random. As soon as I feel it, I rub my leg to see where it's painful and massage it with this cream. It seems to work! It also works

Cirrhosis and itching

Hello, This symptom of itching because of cirrhosis is really annoying. I am taking a powder form of Colestyramine once a day, as per prescription, but sometimes I take 2 when it kicks off again, and I also use E45 cream for relief. Can anyone help with any alternative for itching. Lucky I have no

Strange white shiny, scaley, patch on penis head?

Please help does anyone have any idea what this could be? I have had it for a few months now & it doesn’t hurt, itch or anything like that but it’s driving me crazy just knowing that it’s there... Sometimes it can look quite faded so you can’t see it as much but then other times especially in the morning

Dermatology Check Today, all OK😀

Dear All, Today I had my Dematology Appointment and Everthing was Ok. Yes the Athlete's Foot, Eczma, Dry Skin, Warts and so on ARE, very much, still there but there were NOT any Major Problems. The 'Dermy' Very Carefully 'checked' under my arms, my hand- where I had had a 'carcinoma' removed, a few years

Efudix overdose

In 2015 I was given Efudix cream for facial AKs. It worked fine and they have now gone. However I started using it on a large white mole on my forearm. I over-applied it and my whole forearm became weepy and very red and sore before I stopped it. About three days later I developed red rashes behind
