I'm really worried because he's developed a skin allergy and I've attached some pictures. He's been taking cetirizene for the past couple of days. What kind of skin condition could this possibly be? Is it safe for him to keep taking the medication for another two days until he can see a doctor?

Based on your description, the skin condition could be:
- Urticaria (hives)
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
- Contact dermatitis
- Allergic reaction
Cetirizine Tablet Usage
Cetirizine is an antihistamine that can help alleviate symptoms of allergies. If the person has already been taking cetirizine for 2 days, they can likely continue taking it for 2 more days until consulting a doctor.

View allI'm trying to figure out which is better for fighting acne: Perobar 2.5 or Dermadew Acne Soap. I've come across some reviews that mention these soaps might darken the normal color of the face. Is there any truth to that?
Between Perobar 2.5% and Dermadew Acne Soap, Perobar 2.5% is likely more effective against acne. _Perobar 2.5%_ 1. _Contains benzoyl peroxide_: A well-known acne-fighting ingredient that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and unclogs pores. 2. _Stronger formulation_: 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is a relatively strong concentration, making it more effective against acne. _Dermadew Acne Soap_ 1. _Milder formulation_: Dermadew Acne Soap may contain milder ingredients, such as tea tree oil or salicylic acid, which are less effective against severe acne. 2. _May not be as effective_: Dermadew Acne Soap might not be as effective as Perobar 2.5% in reducing acne severity. _Skin Darkening Concerns_ 1. _Unlikely to darken skin_: Neither Perobar 2.5% nor Dermadew Acne Soap is likely to darken your skin tone. 2. _Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)_: If you experience acne inflammation, it may lead to PIH, causing temporary dark spots. To minimize the risk of PIH, use sunscreen daily, avoid picking or popping pimples, and follow a consistent skincare routine.

So, I recently used chuna powder to remove a mole, and now the surrounding skin is burned, although it's completely healed now. The thing is, there's a small scar and a tiny hole-like uneven surface left behind. I'm using dermadew soap and can see the scar lightening a bit. I'm really hoping to get rid of the uneven surface and scar. Can you suggest a cream that might help with this?
Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .

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.
