I'm really worried about these rashes on my hands and legs. The ones on my hands are between my elbow and shoulder, and they kind of look like pimples, but the ones on my legs are circular. Plus, there's so much itching going on. What could this be, and how should I treat it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm experiencing excessive hair fall right from the roots over the past three months, and I'm a bit concerned. I've been eating eggs, almonds (badam), and dates every day, thinking they might help. I've also been using almond oil on my hair daily, but it seems like I lose more hair after applying it. Could the oil be causing this? I don't think I have any dandruff issues. Any advice on what might be going on or what I should try?

Question

I'm experiencing full body irritation and itching and I've already stopped taking ecosprin. Could you suggest any remedies to help with this? I'm really unsure about what to do next.
