I've been having this really annoying issue with my skin; it started as just itching and at first, I thought it was just because of sweat. I even tried using mupivate ointment but it didn't seem to help at all. The skin is just peeling constantly and it's all on my lower back. Whenever I sweat, it gets super itchy, and I've noticed it's actually been spreading over the last six months. Do you have any suggestions for a cream or anything external I could apply to help with this?

This sounds like a case of fungal infection, specifically tinea corporis. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I'm only getting hives on my hands and feet. They start as small red dots and then spread out into a circle. It's super itchy, and even though I take antihistamines like cetrizine, they only give me temporary relief. Omnacortil works to clear them up, but I can't use it every day because of its side effects. What can I do about this?

To manage recurring hives on hands and feet, consider consulting a dermatologist or allergist to identify underlying causes, and explore alternative treatments like immunotherapy, sublingual immunotherapy, or medications like montelukast or cyclosporine, while also maintaining a symptom journal and avoiding potential triggers.

I'm curious about using Indulekha oil. Does it have any side effects I should worry about, especially if I'm thinking of applying it on my face as an adult? And what happens if I stop using it?
