View allI recently had dengue fever, and after I recovered, I've been dealing with this really annoying skin issue on my thighs. It's super itchy, and I'm not sure what's going on. Is this a common side effect after dengue, or should I be worried about something else? What can I do to relieve the itching?

I'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 really curious about something. When I work out, I tend to sweat a lot from my entire body, but there are parts of my face, like my cheeks, nose, and chin, where I don't sweat at all. Meanwhile, my forehead is always drenched. Should I be worried that not sweating in those areas might be a sign of a bigger problem? Does not sweating mean I'll have a harder time losing fat from those specific spots? I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to start sweating there, or if it's even necessary for fat loss in those areas. What do you think?
it is physiological
