I'm really worried because I've been getting these frequent rashes, and even though my blood test came back normal, my doctor said it might be a hidden allergy or stress-related. But I'm scared it could be something like HIV. How can I tell if these rashes are just from stress or if they're possibly HIV-related? They're itchy and red, and they started in December when I was super stressed about my exams. Can you help me figure this out?

Consider alternatives to KayamNityam Churna to manage bowel movements.

Cremalax, a laxative, can provide temporary relief, but long-term use may lead to dependence.

For a 70-year-old, it's recommended to limit Cremalax use to 1-2 weeks.

Consult your doctor about safer, long-term options, such as:

Psyllium husk (Isabgol) Probiotics Dietary fiber supplements

Also, discuss acidity and sleep issues with your doctor to address underlying causes.

I'm a bit confused about how to use the Ekran soft gel. Do I need to be in the sun after applying it, or is that not necessary? Also, should I only put it on the affected area or spread it across my whole face?

To use Ekran Soft Gel, you should apply it evenly to the affected area of the skin. There is no need to expose the skin to the sun after applying this gel. Just make sure to apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area and gently massage it in. It is not necessary to apply it to the entire face unless directed by your doctor.

I have a lot of moles on my neck and throat, and they don't look great. Is there any way to remove them without surgery? I'm a bit worried about how they look and want to explore other options first.

Yes, it's possible to remove moles without surgery, but it's crucial to have them evaluated by a doctor first to rule out any potential concerns, especially if you're worried about their appearance or a possible link to skin cancer. Several non-surgical methods can be used, such as laser removal, cryotherapy (freezing), electrocautery (burning), and chemical peels.
