I had a boil on my hip line a few months back, and it had to be surgically cut to drain the pus. I'm starting to feel that same kind of pain again, but theres no actual boil yet. Is there any way to stop it from forming into a full-on boil this time?

View allI've been experiencing these red rashes that seem to show up only in the evenings and last for about 23 hours. Its been happening for almost 3 months now, mostly on my face, but sometimes they appear on my back and foot too. They tend to vanish soon after I take an Allegra tablet but frustratingly pop up again after 48 hours when evening arrives. Weirdly, this only happens when I'm in Mumbai or on a working day, and it started around August. Last year, a 10-day course of Allegra seemed to solve the issue completely. Im really curious and a bit worried about why this is happening. What could be causing these rashes, and how can I get rid of them for good?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm really struggling with dark knees, elbows, and underarms, and it's been bothering me for a while. Do you have any suggestions or treatments that could help with this? I'd really appreciate your advice.
Darkening of the skin in these areas can be due to various reasons such as friction, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions. To help lighten these areas, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. One example is "Melalite Forte cream" which can be applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on these areas can help prevent further darkening. Remember to consult with a dermatologist before starting any new skincare regimen.
