loopVar=1;
alert('#imgAvatar'+parseInt(loopVar)+1);
gives me #imgAvatar11
While
alert(parseInt(loopVar)+1);
gives me 2
How can I get #imgAvatar2 ?

Your loopVar is already an integer (notice you haven't put it in quotes, so it is integer). No need to do parseInt.
Use it:
loopVar=1;
alert('#imgAvatar'+(loopVar+1));

It's because you're adding to the string #imgAvatar so the numbers will be converted to strings as well, and it's really read as "#imgAvatar" + "1" + "1".
Use parentheses to create a block where the numbers can be added up before they are added to the string
var loopVar = 1;
alert( '#imgAvatar' + ( (+loopVar) + 1 ) );
Whenever the addition operator is used with a string, all other values will be converted to strings as well
Thats the trouble:
"foo" + 1 + 1 == "foo1"+1 == "foo11";
Thats the answer
alert( '#imgAvatar' + ( parseInt(loopVar) + 1) ) );

If not worknig - show to us your html.
You need to add parenthesis () for priority to evaluate add loopVar first. If your variable contains numeric value then do not need to apply parseInt function.
loopVar = "1";
alert('#imgAvatar'+(parseInt(loopVar)+1));
OR
loopVar = 1;
alert('#imgAvatar'+ (loopVar+1) );
