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'm worried about whether it's necessary to remove the frenulum to get my partner pregnant. I have mine intact and I really don't want to remove it. Could you give me some advice on this?
The frenulum is a small fold of mucous membrane that connects the lip to the gum. Removing it, also known as a frenectomy, is sometimes recommended for pregnant women, but it's not always necessary. Reasons for frenectomy during pregnancy: 1. Frenulum attachment: If the frenulum is too tight or attached too close to the teeth, it can cause tension on the gum and lead to recession or separation of the gum from the tooth. 2. Gum recession: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause gum inflammation and recession. A frenectomy might be recommended to reduce the risk of gum recession. 3. Oral hygiene: A tight frenulum can make it difficult to clean the area between the teeth and gum, leading to plaque buildup and potential oral health issues. Alternatives to frenectomy: If you're not comfortable with the idea of removing your frenulum, discuss the following alternatives with your dentist or healthcare provider: 1. Improved oral hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. 2. Gum massage: Gently massage your gums to improve blood flow and reduce tension.

I'm really worried about some skin issues I've been facing. I tried using apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, and multani mitti on a few spots on my face. I left it on for about 20 minutes and washed it off. But then, those areas turned frosted and by the next morning, they started to look brown. I made the mistake of trying to peel them off and now it feels like it's burning a lot, with pinkish skin showing underneath. I'm really concerned about scarring. I'm currently using hydrocortisone 1 cream and keeping the areas moisturized, but I'm not sure what else I should do. How long will it take for my skin to heal and return to normal? Any advice or precautions would be really appreciated.
Discontinue the use of harsh products. Moisturize and hydrate the skin using gentle products. Use hydrocortisone cream sparingly for inflammation, but do not overuse. Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling the skin. Protect the area from the sun and ensure proper healing. With proper care, the skin should heal within 1-2 weeks for mild burns, but more severe cases may take longer. Please continue to monitor the healing process, and if the situation does not improve or worsens, consider seeing a dermatologist.

I've got this swelling around my nose where I got it pierced and it's been bugging me a bit. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help it heal? And would it be a good idea to take out my nose ring and maybe use a tulsi stem on it for a bit? Any medication suggestions would be helpful too.
