I'm dealing with allergies and these really bothersome skin rashes. Plus, I've got these painful oozing bumps on my scalp. It seems like I react to a lot of good stuff and it gets worse in hot, humid weather. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Allergies and skin rashes along with oozing scalp bumps can be indicative of a condition such as atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) or Zyrtec (cetirizine) to manage your allergies. For the skin rashes, you can apply hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. Additionally, for the oozing scalp bumps, you may benefit from using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide, such as Nizoral shampoo, to help with scalp inflammation. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication.

View allI've been seeing white hair popping up on my scalp, beard, and chest, so I went to a dermatologist who recommended I take kerablak tablets and use altris gel. But I'm really just wondering if these are the right treatments for my issue. Plus, altris gel is pretty pricey, so I'm curious if there's a more affordable alternative out there. Any advice or suggestions?
Kerablak tablets, containing Amla extract, and Altris gel, containing Melanin-boosting agents, are commonly prescribed for promoting hair pigmentation and addressing premature graying; however, it's essential to note that results may vary and these treatments may not completely reverse graying; as for alternatives to Altris gel, you can discuss with your dermatologist other options like Minoxidil-based gels or serums, or natural alternatives like Coconut oil, Amla oil, or Rosemary essential oil, but always consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.

I'm 28 and have always struggled with oily skin, and that means dealing with pimples and their marks constantly. A few months back, I tried retino a with eukroma cream in a chickpea-sized amount, and after 3 months, my skin was looking great. But I stopped using eukroma and now all the pimples and marks are back. Should I start using eukroma again or is there a different approach I should consider? Any thoughts on what I can do to get rid of these spots once and for all?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
