I've been dealing with some pretty intense itching on my thighs and abdomen that started about a week ago, and now it's spread to my chest and legs. There's also this red rash with these tiny circles, mostly around my hair roots. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm wondering what might be causing this and how I can make it stop? Any insights would be really appreciated.

I'm worried because my skin is really sensitive to the sun. I've been using Suncrose 50, but I stopped using it for a few days and ended up with a sunburn. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Kojiglo cream to help with the sunburn?

You cannot use kojiglo cream for sunburn as it typically used for skin lightening and pigmentation issues.For sunburn treatment apply a cold compress, use a gentle moisturiser, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, consider using pain relief meds if needed.

I'm getting really itchy all over my body whenever the weather is humid, and I'm not in an air-conditioned room. It's super uncomfortable! Any idea why that's happening or what might be causing it?

Itchy skin in humid weather could be due to a condition called prickly heat, also known as heat rash. To relieve the itching, you can try using a soothing lotion containing calamine or aloe vera. You can also take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine to help with the itching. Make sure to stay cool and wear loose, breathable clothing.
