I've been experiencing this strange sensation after walking for about 510 minutes. It feels like a needle prick on my skin, followed by some rashes, but they disappear after like 15 minutes. Any idea what could be going on? Should I be worried about this?

The symptoms you described, a needle prick sensation on the body followed by rashes that resolve within 15 minutes after walking, may indicate Cholinergic Urticaria, a heat-induced allergic reaction that causes hives and itching; other possible causes include Exercise-Induced Urticaria, Stress-Induced Hives, or even an allergic reaction to clothing, detergent, or environmental factors

Question

I'm really concerned because every time I drink alcohol, I start itching all over my body afterwards. Like, last week, I had some beer, and two days later, the itching began. Is this normal, or should I be worried about an allergic reaction or something? I'd really appreciate your advice on what might be causing this.

Question

I've just used Veet hair removal cream around my anus and immediately after washing it off with aloe vera soap, I felt a burning sensation. Now I've got these rashes and red itchy bumps. I'm really worried about it. How can I clear this up?

Question

I've been dealing with this annoying fungal infection on my back for about 6 months now, and I'm in the UAE. I'm using TRAVOCORT cream as the doctor recommended, and it seems to work for a few days, but then the itching and irritation come back. I've noticed the symptoms seem to get worse when I eat non-veg foods like chicken, fish, or mutton, which is really frustrating. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get some relief? It's becoming really uncomfortable.
