What are the cause of patched thumbnail and itchy body?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 28-year-old female who weighs 165 pounds and is 5 feet and 4 inches tall. I currently have a few issues. My thumb nail has a weird brien patch that randomly appeared a few days ago 9mm wide and with a 6mm length- shaped surrounding. Breakouts all over the body face, legs, shoulders, arms, legs, back, bum, neck, collar bone, and chest. I also get quite itchy and have heaps of little lump-like simple feeling things over my scalp that hurt. I take 15 mg of Dexamphetamine daily and 20 mg of Lexapro and Ventolin.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I understand your concern.

I am very sorry about your medical condition. Do not worry; I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, I wish you could send a picture. However, I believe you have developed a fungal infection around the thumb and generalized body irritation. Please take the following:

  1. Apply topical 1% terbinafine cream twice daily at the thumbnail.

  2. Topical ointment 0.05% Clobetasol daily, once per day, or 0.2% Hydrocortisone for three months.

  3. OneTablet Hydroxyzine 25 mg orally for one week.

If your symptoms persist, schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.

I hope this helps.

Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.

Regards.

Thank you.
