I'm a bit concerned because I've had dark spots on my feet for the past 5 years. There's no pain or other health issues that I've noticed over the years. Could you help me understand why this might be happening?

Can be due to various reasons such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun exposure, or even certain medical conditions. To help lighten these dark spots, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer on the affected areas once daily. Additionally, wearing sunscreen on your feet daily can prevent further darkening of the spots.

I've been having really itchy palms and feet for the past three days. There aren't any rashes, but whenever I scratch, the skin gets all red. It's starting to worry me a bit. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as dyshidrotic eczema. For relief from itching and redness, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream on the affected areas. Additionally, taking oral antihistamines such as cetirizine can help with itching. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing this prickling sensation and a lot of itching on my hands near my wrists, legs, and even on my back. It's really uncomfortable, especially during the summer. Could you suggest some remedies I could try to get some relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing heat rash, also known as prickly heat. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using calamine lotion on the affected areas to soothe the itching and prickling sensation.

Make sure to stay cool and hydrated, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating to prevent further irritation.
