I've been dealing with this itchy red rash that keeps appearing and disappearing, and I sometimes feel a pricking sensation in different parts of my body, especially on my back. On top of that, my tonsils seem to hurt a bit too. Could this be something serious, or is there anything I should be doing to help it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a condition called Urticaria, also known as hives. Hives are red, itchy welts or swellings on the skin that often come and go. The pricking sensation you are feeling in your body parts, especially in the back, could be due to the hives. The slight pain in your tonsils may be related to inflammation or infection. To help relieve your symptoms, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine to the affected areas to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm dealing with pimples and these small holes on my face. I talked to a dermatologist, and they suggested Adapalene gel and Opexa gel. I've been using the Adapalene gel, and it's helping with the pimples, but the holes aren't getting any better. I haven't started using the Opexa gel yet. Should I try it out to see if it helps with those holes?

I've been using hh lite cream for a couple of months and while it worked instantly, my face got darker once I stopped. My doctor recommended trying loprolif 0.1 ointment and neoskin moisturizer, but I'm only seeing a little improvement. Is this the best treatment plan, or is there something else I should consider? I'm really worried about getting my original complexion back. Would love some advice!
Continue same treatment.

I'm really concerned about my hair loss and I'm wondering if it's possible for telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss to overlap, and if so, can this be treated or cured? Also, what exactly causes these issues with hair loss? It's really been bothering me and I would love some insights or advice on what to do next.
Telogen effluvium is usually triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes, while female pattern hair loss is often genetic. To treat Telogen effluvium, minoxidil solution can be used twice daily on the scalp. For female pattern hair loss, medications like finasteride can be prescribed to help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It is important to address the underlying causes and follow a consistent treatment plan for best results.
