I'm feeling like someone's poking hundreds of tiny needles in my back at random times. Could this be some kind of skin disease, or is it something else entirely?

I've been dealing with perioral dermatitis and using Desowen lotion has been really helpful. However, I recently found out I'm pregnant and read somewhere that it's not safe anymore. Are there any non-steroid alternatives to this lotion that I could use during pregnancy? I'm a bit concerned and would love some advice.

That could be due to Fungal Infection or Vitamin Defeciency,visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management,and consume balanced diet

I'm really struggling with my skin during the winter months. It turns really dark and dry, and oddly enough, it actually gets even darker when I use moisturizers. To top it off, I start breaking out with pimples too. It's so frustrating, because my skin is completely fine in the summersmooth, bright, and pimple-free. I'm based in Delhi, if that makes any difference. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

use moisturizer
