I'm really worried because my daughter accidentally spilled hot tea on her chest, and now she has about three spots, each around an inch, that got burned. After treatment, her chest is okay now, but the skin color where it burned is different from her normal skin. What can I do to help the color of the burned skin blend back in with her regular skin tone?

I'm noticing these flat red spots on my hands, arms, and feet for the past month. They don't itch or hurt, but I'm a bit worried about what they could be. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

These red spots could be a sign of a condition called petechiae, which are small, flat red spots that appear on the skin due to bleeding under the skin. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can take Vitamin C supplements to help strengthen your blood vessels.

I've been using Fexo 180 for a couple of days now, but I'm still having really itchy and irritated skin. It's kind of frustrating, and honestly, I just want the itchiness to stop. I'm a 25-year-old female. Any advice on what I can do about this?

Persistent skin irritation and itching despite taking Fexo 180 may indicate that the medication is not effectively controlling your symptoms. You can try switching to another antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily or Loratadine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help relieve the itching. If the symptoms continue, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
