I've been dealing with these little red spots on my back and neck for about a week now. They were super itchy when they first appeared last Saturday but arent itching anymore. However, they havent gone away, and I havent taken any medication. I'm really unsure about whats going on or what I should do next. Any insights?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a rash. Based on your description of red spots that were itchy initially but are now not itching, it could be a reaction to something you came into contact with or possibly a viral rash. To help with the rash, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with any remaining itchiness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help with any discomfort. If the rash persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really struggling with my skin right now. I've been using panderm plus cream for the last three years. It works well, but the side effects are messing me up. Every time I try to stop using it, my face starts itching, burning, breaking out, and gets all red and flaky in just two days. I'm desperate to stop using it but just can't handle how my skin reacts. Do you have any suggestions for something that won't have these crazy side effects and could help keep my skin clear and glowing?

Gradually reduce the use of Panderm Plus, switch to a gentle moisturizer, and consider using acne treatment options that dont involve steroids. Consulting with a dermatologist is always a great next step to find a tailored solution for your skin.

I'm wondering how many sessions it would take for me to achieve an even skin tone, as my face is a bit darker than my neck. Also, could you give me a rough idea of how much one injection would cost?

To achieve an even skin tone, the number of sessions required can vary depending on individual skin types and concerns. Typically, 4-6 sessions of chemical peels or laser treatment, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, may be needed to attain desired results. As for the cost, it's difficult to provide an exact estimate without knowing the specific treatment and location, but on average, a session can range from 1,500 to 5,000 or more. It's best to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance and pricing.

I'm dealing with a really painful boil on my buttocks, and it's been bothering me a lot. I was wondering if taking Sporidex 500 mg would help clear it up?
