Is honey good for pimples?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Honey has natural antibacterial properties that can soothe inflammed acne. But natural isn't always safe when it comes to skincare. Do a patch test before trying.

View allI've been dealing with these itchy granular rashes on my palm, and sometimes on my feet, for about a week now. The itching on my palm won't stop, and it's starting to really bug me. What's going on and how can I find relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing contact dermatitis. You can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help with the itching. Additionally, applying a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% to the affected areas twice a day can help reduce inflammation and itching. Make sure to avoid any known triggers or irritants that may be causing the allergic reaction. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing this weird crawling sensation on my skin and itching, but it's just on my scalp. I've checked and can't find any lice or nits. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
Continue tab levocetrizine orally at night for 7 days, if symptoms not subsided dermatologist opinion is advised.
