I'm noticing these rashes popping up anywhere on my body, mainly in the morning and evening. Theyre itchy, red, and kind of rashy like pithi dafad, and they tend to disappear after a while. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?

It seems like you are experiencing a skin condition called Urticaria, also known as Hives. This condition presents as raised, itchy rashes that come and go. To help relieve the itching and redness, you can take Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas can also provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI've always thought I had good hair, but over time, I've noticed it's not as dense as it used to be. I've constantly struggled with dandruff too. In Bangalore, the water is quite hard, and we usually use borewell or tank water for bathing. I'm wondering if washing my hair with KENT purifier water, which has a TDS level of 80, could have any negative effects. Could this be a better option for my hair problems?
You can purchase and use water softeners on a bucket of water before taking bath.

I've been dealing with a boil on my buttock, and after finishing a 5-day course of antibiotics yesterday, it developed a white head today. When I did a warm compression, it released some pus and then blood. I cleaned it up and covered it with cotton, but an hour later, I noticed blood on the cotton. I washed it again, but the bleeding didn't stop. What should I do?
The boil on your buttock has likely come to a head, released pus and blood, and is now in the process of healing; however, given the continued bleeding, it's essential to monitor the wound closely, keep it clean, and apply antibiotic ointment to promote healing and prevent infection; if the bleeding persists, increases, or is accompanied by increased pain, redness, or swelling, seek medical attention from a healthcare professional or a dermatologist for further evaluation and guidance.
