I've been experiencing these red rashes that seem to show up only in the evenings and last for about 23 hours. Its been happening for almost 3 months now, mostly on my face, but sometimes they appear on my back and foot too. They tend to vanish soon after I take an Allegra tablet but frustratingly pop up again after 48 hours when evening arrives. Weirdly, this only happens when I'm in Mumbai or on a working day, and it started around August. Last year, a 10-day course of Allegra seemed to solve the issue completely. Im really curious and a bit worried about why this is happening. What could be causing these rashes, and how can I get rid of them for good?

I'm dealing with seborrheic dermatitis for a few months now and got some worries. Is this something that can even be fully cured? Also, how long does treatment usually take? Should I be thinking about getting an HIV test because of this? And finally, when I go for a haircut, is there a high risk of picking up infections at the barbershop because of my condition?
1. Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition, but it can be managed and symptoms can be reduced with treatment and its totally curable also 2. Treatment duration varies, but significant improvement can be seen within 2-6 weeks with topical treatments, and 3-6 months with oral medications. 3. While seborrheic dermatitis can be more common in people with HIV, a diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis does not necessarily warrant an HIV test, unless you have other risk factors or symptoms. 4. Seborrheic dermatitis is not contagious, and you cannot spread it to others or get infected through contact with contaminated skin or barber equipment.

I'm a working woman and I travel every day for my job. Because of this, I've gotten a pretty bad sun tan on my hands. I'm really eager to find a way to remove it as quickly as I can. Could you let me know what steps I should take or any treatments I could try to get rid of the sun tan?
