I'm dealing with allergies and these really bothersome skin rashes. Plus, I've got these painful oozing bumps on my scalp. It seems like I react to a lot of good stuff and it gets worse in hot, humid weather. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Allergies and skin rashes along with oozing scalp bumps can be indicative of a condition such as atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) or Zyrtec (cetirizine) to manage your allergies. For the skin rashes, you can apply hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. Additionally, for the oozing scalp bumps, you may benefit from using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide, such as Nizoral shampoo, to help with scalp inflammation. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication.
