I think you need to get two creams. One is called an emollient (a moisturizer, preferably a non-perfumed moisturizer) which can be gotten from cosmetic stores. The other is 1% hydrocortisone cream which would be gotten from a pharmacy.
After your baths , rub the emollient on the affected areas, then 30mins later, rub in the hydrocortisone cream. Do this morning and evening.
If after a week there are no significant improvements, then you may have to visit the Hosp.

Usually would depend on:
1 How many children she has given birth to ,
2. how many cs she has had and
3. the reason for the CS.
Can you provide answers to 2 & 3?

Good evening doctor(s) in the house,pls I observed something like a lump in my left b..rea..st,so I complained to a doctor who examined it and said there is nothing there,that it must be due to the fact that am breastfeeding,he said because I complained abt feeling pains there,he prescribed 1g augmentin which I started on Sat but to me,it wasn't doing anything so I went back,he suggested that I do mammogram to be sure of what is there.I plan to do it this coming Sat but I read somewhere on one thread here on nairaland that one must be 35years and above before doing mammogram,pls what is ur advise? though I will clock 35 next year.
First I should ask, do you know how to do a breast examination? The description of the kinda lump you noticed is important.
Anyways, the doctor who examined you is in a better position to determine if a mammogram is the next best step. You should know that the alternative to a mammogram is an ultrasound of the breast which is usually recommended for younger ladies.
Why?
Cos their breasts contain much more fatty tissue than that of the older women whose breasts are devoid of fats.
So there you go...........if you ask me, I think an ultrasound is it, but a knowledge of the kinda lump would be more helpful in making a choice

If the CS was without complication, then the advice would be to wait for at least 6months before trying to conceive the next pregnancy.
Some Doctors advice on 9months.

Concernedme:


Much thanks to Xiadant, Lexusgs430, Ammeria and Frenchfriez for replying me concerning the above.
This is his brief history
No diabetes, no HB, infact no terminal disease apart from the usual typhoid/malaria
He likes sugary stuff. Drinks pepsi and the likes everyday sometimes twice a day
Smokes 2 to 3 sticks of cigarette daily.
We had (heavy) staph and treated it. Went for a confirmatory test and the results came back clean.
He doesn't exercise and he isn't fat
He's 38
He gets an erection but loses it at 40 seconds interval.
Please what is the way forward?

What symptoms do you experience? What makes you think you have staph?

Well, I don't know how you arrived at the 22nd sept date but that's surely more than a 40day cycle.
A significantly delayed menses could be caused by a number of factors, common among which is pregnancy. However , when preg has been ruled out, we begin to look at other factors like :
> Are you using contraceptive pills or have you used postinor in the past month?

> You may ne having an untreated pelvic infection

> Have you been involved in strenuous and physically tasking activities within the month in question. This includes distance travels or any other activity which ur not used to
> Psychological issues bothering you or by a long shot, hormonal issues.
Identifying which of these could be the problem is a step to the solution, then you'd have to visit the Hosp and find a lasting solution to it.

Hello doctors in the house,

I would advice she goes for a high vaginal swab (HVS), that's a test that isolates the cause of the pid and makes it easier to treat.
If the appropriate antibiotics are used , pid can be taken care of and she would conceive just like any other lady.

Like seriously why do we keep doing this? What would it have cost you to have visited the Hosp gobadaya instead of trying out several meds?
Ffs, do you really have scabies? How sure are you about the diagnosis.
Secondly, all the drugs but one arent necessary for use in scabies treatment. Why waste ur scarce resources?
The diagnosis of scabies is clinical and you didn't get permethrin cos it's a prescription med. My advice is this, do well to visit the Hosp, get checked and obtain the appropriate prescription. Aside from permetrin, there are 2-3 other alternative treatments for scabies (aside the supportive treatments) which are also prescription meds.
Do let us know how it goes to see if we have to come in at some point.

Get benzylbenzoate cream it's just 500
Take a shower at night ,use the cream to rub all ur body part, leave for atleast 48hrs without taking ur bath. Repeat this 7days later
Clean and wash thoroughly all ur clothings, beddings to avoid reinfection.
