DermatologistFolliculitisHere are a few other things to consider:
Allergic reactions: Sometimes, itching and rashes are caused by allergies to food, medicine, or things around you.
Other skin conditions: Conditions like eczema or contact dermatitis can also cause similar symptoms.
Mites or fungus: While parasites like mites or fungal infections could be the cause, they usually have other signs too.
Gut issues and sugar: Your stomach problems and eating a lot of sugar could be affecting your skin too.
If the treatment you’re on isn't working, you should go back to your dermatologist to discuss it further. You might need a new approach or more tests to figure out what's going on.
