I'm really worried about these rashes on my hands and legs. The ones on my hands are between my elbow and shoulder, and they kind of look like pimples, but the ones on my legs are circular. Plus, there's so much itching going on. What could this be, and how should I treat it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been dealing with these dark spots left behind by Sapat lotion after I used it for my ringworms a few months ago. Even though I've tried so many home remedies, I can't seem to get rid of them. Can you suggest any creams or lotions that might help fade these spots?

I'm planning to use Bontress hair serum and I'm kind of confused about whether I need to wash my hair every day after applying it in the morning. Is it okay to just leave it in and head to work, or do I need to wash it out? My doctor mentioned using 3 sprays in the morning and 4 in the evening. I'm just trying to figure out the best routine. Can I apply it and then just leave it on, or should I wash it off after some time?

You can leave the serum on your scalp and go about your day without washing it off. There is no need to wash your hair immediately after applying the serum. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosage and application times for best results."

I'm starting to get really worried about these skin issues I've been having. My skin's been super itchy, and I'm dealing with these reddish, swollen patches on my hands and feet. It's got this burning sensation, plus the redness has spread to my palms, making it hard and painful to even close my hands. I was given an injection and have been taking Allegra 180, Atarax 10mg, and Zincovit, along with using Lactamine Lotion, but nothing's really helping. Can you suggest any blood tests I should get to figure out what's going on?
