For the past 5-6 days, you've experienced an allergic reaction with:

*Symptoms*

1. Allergic contact dermatitis (e.g., soap, detergent, or metal)
2. Atopic dermatitis (eczema)
3. Insect bites or stings

*Self-Care*

1. *Apply cool compresses*: Reduce itching and inflammation.
2. *Use topical creams*: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion can help.

Question 4

I've been getting a lot of red spots on my body and they're super itchy. I've tried some home remedies, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or a skin condition such as eczema or hives. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) to help with the itching and redness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Fair and Lovely cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, which can cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin with long-term use. It is not recommended to use hydroquinone-containing products for extended periods of time without medical supervision. If you stop using the cream, your skin may revert back to its original condition, but it is important to transition to a different skincare routine to maintain the results. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on alternative skincare products.
