I'm really worried because I recently changed my wedding bangles, and now I have these small red boils all over my arms. They itch really badly, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could this be an allergic reaction to the bangles? What should I do to relieve the itching and get rid of the bumps?

Could be a sign of an allergic reaction or skin infection. To help with the itching and treat the boils, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) once daily. Additionally, applying a topical antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the affected areas twice a day can help prevent infection and promote healing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering if Tetmosol soap is effective at treating prickly heat. Also, I'm a bit confused about the difference between prickly heat and scabies. Is prickly heat a fungal infection too?

I'm dealing with a fungal infection in my private area and I'm thinking about using sapat lotion. Im a bit concerned though, does it have any steroids in it? Just want to make sure it's safe to use down there.

Sapat lotion contains clobetasol propionate, a potent topical steroid, which may not be suitable for fungal infections; instead, consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Candid) or Miconazole (Micatin) to treat the fungal infection in your private area.
