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?

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.

I'm having some swelling and pitting in my left lower limbs, and it's been really bothering me. I've already done a sugar test, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. The venous scan suggested it might be cellulitis or edema. I'm a bit worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand what might be going on and what steps I should take now?

The swelling and pitting edema in your left lower limb, with scanning results suggesting cellulitis or edema, may indicate a vascular or infectious issue; consult primary care physician for further evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics, compression therapy, and elevation.
