I'm allergic to Dettol and Savlon and whenever I use them on my skin, I get rashes and red spots. A few days ago, I had a skin prick allergy test and they cleaned my skin with something that probably had the same ingredient, so I've ended up with really itchy red rashes and spots on both my forearms. Do you think this could be causing a more severe reaction? How should I treat these rashes, and is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again in the future?

This is quite rare.. But you are allergic to antiseptic solution itself.. So should avoid it.. Check if you are allergic to soap or not?? Some people are allergic to different things.. Whenever you go to hospital you must open up about this allergiec history......

View allI've got these two cuts behind my right ear that just won't heal and they've been there for nearly a year now. They ooze, scab over, and get really crusty. There's no rash, and they don't look like any eczema pictures I've found. I've tried prescribed creams but nothing helps. What could this be, and what should I do next?
Could be indicative of a condition called chronic otitis externa. In this case, I would recommend using a combination of an antibiotic and steroid ear drops to help with the inflammation and infection. You can try using Neomycin-Polymyxin B-Hydrocortisone ear drops twice a day for 7-10 days. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching or picking at the scabs to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm starting to notice more and more white hairs popping up above my ears on both sides. It began with just one or two about a year and a half ago, but they're definitely increasing now. Should I be concerned, or is this just a normal part of aging?
Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
