View allI'm noticing these rashes popping up anywhere on my body, mainly in the morning and evening. Theyre itchy, red, and kind of rashy like pithi dafad, and they tend to disappear after a while. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?
It seems like you are experiencing a skin condition called Urticaria, also known as Hives. This condition presents as raised, itchy rashes that come and go. To help relieve the itching and redness, you can take Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas can also provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

My wife's been having this pain in her left hand veins, and her thumbs have been itching for the past three days. I initially thought it might just go away on its own, but the pain hasn't improved. She did plant a tree three days ago, so I'm wondering if it could be an infection from the soil or something related to the plant. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
, based upon the clinical symptoms there might be development of phlebitis, i.e inflammation of the veins due to some thorn prick. Apply warm compresses. If symptoms aggravates kindly consult ur surgeon...

I was in an accident recently and ended up with 3 stitches just above my lips, right below my nose. The stitches are healing well, but I'm really concerned about the scar that's forming. Could you recommend an ointment or cream that would help with scar removal? I'm just a bit anxious about this and would love some advice.
You can use Mederma ointment for scar removal. Apply a thin layer of Mederma ointment on the scar area 3 times a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement in the appearance of the scar.
