I'm really worried about my daughter's skin allergy, which we call Sappi in Telugu. Her shoulder has turned a reddish color with small, wound-like spots. I'm not sure what steps to take to help her. Could you suggest what I can do?

I've got these lesions all over my body and they're really itchy. Plus, I've developed some thick blisters on my hands and palms. I tried using permethrin cream and taking ivermectin 12, but nothing seems to be helping. What could this be, and what should I do next?

I'm really confused about the order in which I should apply my skincare medications for acne. I've got three different ones: Lotion Doux moisturizing lotion, UV Doux sunscreen, and Aziderm for dark spots. The Aziderm feels really drying on my skin, so I'm not sure if it should go first or last. Could you help me figure out the right order to apply them all?

Aziderms,moisturize,sunscreen,use them in this order,two times a day
