View allI'm dealing with a stubborn fungal infection that's just not going away. It's super itchy and burning like crazy. I've tried using creams like Quadiderm and Castor NF, but nothing seems to help. What else can I try to finally get some relief?

I'm seeing these itchy red bumps that look like pimples on my forearms and ears. They first appeared two days ago on my hands and ears but have now spread to my forearms. They're not on my biceps or shoulders, which are usually covered by my t-shirt. Could this be related to the weather change? I was driving in the sun two days ago during the daytime and started noticing these patches afterward. What do you think?
Causes* 1. *Sun Allergy (Polymorphic Light Eruption)*: Exposure to sunlight, especially during peak hours, can trigger an allergic reaction, leading to itchy red bumps. 2. *Phototoxicity*: Certain medications or skincare products can react with sunlight, causing a phototoxic reaction, which may present with similar symptoms. 3. *Contact Dermatitis*: Exposure to an allergen or irritant, such as soap, detergent, or plant sap, can cause a skin reaction, especially on exposed areas like forearms and ears. 4. *Heat Rash (Miliaria)*: Prolonged exposure to heat and sunlight can cause heat rash, characterized by small, itchy bumps. *Next Steps* 1. *Seek shade and avoid further sun exposure*: Until the symptoms resolve, limit your time in the sun, especially during peak hours. 2. *Apply cool compresses*: To reduce itching and inflammation, apply a cool, wet compress to the affected areas. 3. *Use topical creams or ointments*: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion can help alleviate itching and inflammation.

I've been noticing dark circles under my eyes lately, and this has never been an issue for me before. I spend a lot of time working in front of the computer, and I'm worried that's what's causing it. I'm really looking for a way to make these circles disappear completely. Could you recommend any methods or creams that would help with this?
It sounds like your dark circles may be due to prolonged screen time, which can strain your eyes and disrupt sleep. I recommend using an eye cream with ingredients like caffeine or hyaluronic acid to reduce puffiness and hydrate the area. Also, ensure you take regular breaks from the screen and get adequate rest for best results.
