I'm really struggling with my complexion and it's been tough finding something that works. I tried using Panderm Plus and loved the results, but since it's banned now, I'm unsure about what alternatives are out there. Are there other steroid creams or medications that are effective for skin whitening? Any advice would be really helpful!

View allI'm really worried about these rashes that have appeared on my hands, legs, and scalp. They're big and cause a lot of itching and redness. My scalp is also itching, and I've noticed my hair's been falling out. It seems to flare up mostly in the morning and evening. What could be causing this?
The symptoms you're describing, such as big rashes, itching, redness, and hair falling, could be indicative of an allergic reaction, skin condition, or other underlying health issue. Possible Causes 1. Allergic Contact Dermatitis: An allergic reaction to substances like soaps, detergents, metals, or plants. 2. Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): A chronic skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. 3. Seborrheic Dermatitis: A skin condition causing scaly, itchy, and red patches on the scalp, face, and other areas. 4. Psoriasis: An autoimmune condition causing red, scaly, and itchy patches on the skin. 5. Fungal or Bacterial Infections: Infections like ringworm, impetigo, or folliculitis can cause rashes, itching, and redness. Timing of Symptoms The fact that your symptoms worsen in the morning and evening suggests that they might be triggered by: 1. Temperature changes: Changes in temperature and humidity can exacerbate skin conditions. 2. Soap or detergent use: Harsh soaps or detergents can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. 3. Clothing or fabric irritation: Certain fabrics, dyes, or finishes can cause skin irritation. What to Do Next 1. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. 2. Keep a symptom journal: Track your symptoms, including when they occur, to help identify potential triggers. 3. Avoid harsh soaps and detergents: Switch to gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and laundry detergents. 4. Apply moisturizers and topical creams: Use over-the-counter moisturizers and hydrocortisone creams to help soothe and calm the skin. 5. Avoid scratching: Try to resist scratching, as this can further irritate the skin and lead to infection.

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.

I've been using erythego gel for my Rosacea for about a year and a half without issues since it was prescribed by my doctor. But lately, I've developed contact dermatitis, and now every time I apply the gel, it seems to make things worse. Could the gel be causing my contact dermatitis?
Erythego gel contains erythromycin, which is an antibiotic commonly used to treat acne and rosacea. However, some individuals may develop an allergic reaction to erythromycin, leading to contact dermatitis. I recommend stopping the use of erythego gel and consulting with your doctor for an alternative treatment option for your rosacea.
