Answered by Dr. Anna Chacon

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

It sounds like you are experiencing some discomfort with your skin. Skin itching and burning can be caused by a variety of conditions, including allergies, skin infections, or certain dermatological conditions like eczema or psoriasis. It’s important to avoid scratching the affected area, as this could potentially lead to further irritation or even infection. I recommend that you schedule an appointment so we can examine your skin in person. This will allow us to properly diagnose your condition and establish an effective treatment plan. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using any new soaps, lotions, or other skin products, as these can sometimes cause irritation.

Thanks
