1571533 tn?1322943509 Hi Sandy! My doctor also prescribed me the Lidocaine patch for my hip and lower back. (didn't have neck or upper back pain at that time) They only worked for about a day and they also wouldn't stick to my body but I just found out last week that I tore a ligament in my hip so that my be why they didn't work. I hope your dr.can find the right med that helps with your pain!
Avatar f tn I have had itching and burning for 16 days (since possible contact) he has no symptoms at all and I have had vaginal itching and burning for 16 days but no other symptoms. I have been checked 4 times and the gynocologist has seen nothing. Is it possible it is herpes? What could it be?
Avatar f tn - Using hypoallergenic detergent - Hypoallergenic soap and shampoo - Double rinsing underwear after washing - washing vulva thoroughly with water in the shower (no soap directly on it) - washing with water after I use the bathroom - applying ice - applying lidocaine and using antihistamines daily - only wearing white cotton underwear - no underwear at night I went to my OBGYN and she gave me lidocaine gel and antihistamines to take daily which I have been doing for 6 months.
Avatar f tn t have time because of work and needed a quick fix. Towards taking that last pill I started experiencing mild itching. I knew it had to be a yeast infections from the antibiotics. Like I said, it happens all the time. I scheduled an appointment with my doctor just this past Saturday 7/9/16. He prescribed me Bactrum to kill any remaining bacteria from the bladder infection and fluconazole for my beginning signs of a yeast infection.
Avatar m tn I go to this weird Korean skin care place for my bacne. A few months ago, they injected triamcinolone+lidocaine into a few specific acne spots. I started itching like crazy, breathing was difficult, and they let me go home after injecting me with an antihistamine (I imagine). Rash went away after my 3 hour nap.
Avatar f tn Yes, I had that worst on my right shin. The skin got red and thick and nearly hairless after months of being scratched. Skin lotion helped a little bit (mitigating the resulting dryness). I learned to scratch gently using the backs of my fingernails or a loofa sponge. Simply putting pressure on the itchy spot when it starts up, even mild pressure, might help too. My other itchy spots have not been so severe as to cause skin damage. Good luck--it's annoying as heck, isn't it!
Avatar f tn The only thing that seems to have worked is topical capsaicin but this is only effective for the itching around my anus and does not help my scrotal itching. The last specialist I went to told me it was most likely neurogenic and that there was nothing he could do (reassuring right). Since then I have done copious amounts of research. I found that it’s possibly linked to lumbosacral radiculopathy but wonder whether I’m way to young to have this.
Avatar n tn anal itching past week. thought it was fungal applied lotrimin & 1% hydrocortisone. didn't improve. applied Preparation H & 1% hydrocortisone. no improvement. went to dr. physician assistant did digital rectal exam. no hemmrhoids, no bleeding when tested. gave me lidocaine 3% 0.5% hydrocortisone cream. started last night 1st of 20 applications. during night sleeping I felt a slight pin head or smaller like under the skin outside of anus around 4 o'clock position.
Avatar m tn caine drugs including Lidocaine which seems to be the favorite agent for Ophthamologists. I never had a skin test for that drug in particular but in the past couple years, eating chocolate has caused itching on my hands. As chocolate and the caine drugs all come from the same plant I presume any derivative from that plant would cause a reaction. I also have severe allergic contact dermatitis to pine sap and tomatoes. That takes a trip to urgent care for a Prednisone shot to get relief.
Avatar f tn There are no contraindications for using lidocaine for the purpose described. The only danger is that lidocaine completely anesthetizes tissue, which is why you can cut or suture an area treated by lidocaine. Thus it is possible to cause a tear or injury that would not be noticed until the lidocaine wore off. In the case of normal intercourse, this should not be a problem.
Avatar n tn This is a question for your doctor or a pharmacist.
Avatar n tn I had an old RX of cipro which is for bacteria and this is my third day with this, but the best thing is the lidocaine, so far so good but I notice that is has rached the outside of my thighs and my back. I guess I am allergicd to fleas. MY dog is fine, but I am not. I vaccuum my mattress every 5 days when I change my sheets. Don't know what else to do.
Avatar m tn swab tested positive for GHSV1 and tested negative for HSV2
Avatar f tn I'm a 30 year old woman with nearly constant mild to moderate itching with several spurts a day of severe itching that keeps me from sleeping or focusing. It began three years ago during my 20th week of pregnancy and never left. I have tested negative for all allergens. I've had a kenalog shot, attarax, benzodiazepenes. I've used lidocaine, menthol, etc type lotions (and three or four prescription ones). Nothing helps. I don't have dry skin.
Avatar f tn A little more info. I have been with the same man for 12+ years. The saltwater solution was aprox 1/3 c up seasalt in 2 cups water. I have not cheated on him. He says and I believe him that he has not cheated on me. He knows I am going to the dr. Tmrw and if its an std I would find out. Also I am smoker. I have been appling the lidocaine sunborne gel bout every 3 hrs. The swelling did not get extreme until the saltwater.
Avatar f tn I received my shipment today of ocean potion and rec. by another person on this site. I found it to provide instant relief of itching. It's temporary but still I would recommend it since it is so cheap. Much cheaper then Sarna. Huge bottles 20.5 oz each, like $3.50 a bottle. I got 2 shipped by wal mart since it's not available in Phoenix at wal mart or walgreens. Cost me $12 with tax and shipping. It's worth having in the arsenal, good for riba or incevik.
Avatar m tn Hello, The symptoms are suggestive of brachioradial pruritis. Brachioradial pruritis is an intense itching sensation of the arm usually between the shoulder and elbow of either or both arms. The itch can be so intense that sufferers will scratch their own skin to a bleeding condition. The main cause of BRP is not known but there is evidence to suggest that BRP may arise in the nervous system. BRP may be attributed to a neuropathy, such as chronic cervical radiculopathy.
Avatar n tn And i also suffer from itching that cannot be relieved sometime i scratch so hard i begin to bleed. What do I do??? My Brother has been diagnosed with MS and my mother with fibromyalgia. Unsure if there is a connection.
Avatar m tn The burning and itching lasted for over a year and a half, but as time went on it lessened. Hopefully for you it will do the same. I am now dealing with sciatic pain down the leg, that started as back and testicle pain, but that may or may not be related to the HSV2. But I am absolutely positive my burning and itching symptoms started right after intercourse with her and she swabbed positive for HSV2.
934553 tn?1275274379 As far as itching, lotions, potions and creams were of no use to me. When they put me on Tegretol for the the TN, the itching stopped. So antiseizure (membrane stabilizers) seem to stop the itch.
Avatar n tn For the last past two days I've been experiencing itching and burning sensations in the vaginal region. It also occurs when I urinate. I've tried vagisil which usually works but this time it made the itching and burning worse. I don't have an odor but my discharge is kind of a thick off white color. Im not able to see the doctor until next week. What can I do until then.
Avatar m tn Many people have raised the issue of severe itching on forearms. Doctors are of no help and sleep is imposssible. Applying SELSUN (an over the counter pharmacutical) use for fungal infections seems to work if used daily for a week. The smell may put your spouse off!!! Good luck.

Avatar f tn My local doctor was wary of all the side effects and wanted to try a neurontin cream compounded with doxipen and lidocaine. This combo seems to help some days but other days it makes the itch so much worse. Has anyone else tried these compounded creams? What strength and what were the medications involved?
Avatar n tn I feel it would be safe to say you have hemmroids,, you get them from heavy lifting, sitting for long periods of time, straining during bowel movements endless reasons. and the itching may just be from not cleaning well enough after b.m.'s and the hemmroids make this more difficult,, I personally use baby wipes and if that doesn't help, ask your dr. for a perscription for Lidocaine HCI 3% and Hydrocortisone Acetate 2.5% Gel.
Avatar f tn I have felt like that before the doctor gave me lidocaine gel for a painful sore but it seems to work good if I itch, that's the only thing I found sometimes benadryl cream has worked but not as good as the lidocaine.
Avatar f tn Can aspercreme with lidocaine be used on a burn caused by a flame if its not blistered
