I've been getting these rash-like marks on my skin, especially on my arms and legs, mostly in the mornings when I wake up and in the evenings. They really look like mosquito bites, and they're showing up in multiple spots. It's starting to worry me. What should I do about it?

I've noticed a patch of dry skin on my right under thigh, but it's not itchy or causing any discomfort. Could you recommend an ointment for this?

Since there's no itch or discomfort, you can try the following over-the-counter (OTC) ointments: 1. *Moisturizing creams*: Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream, or CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. 2. *Hydrocortisone cream*: A mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone (0.5-1%) can help reduce inflammation and dryness. 3. *Urea-based creams*: Urea (10-20%) creams, such as Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream or Aquaphor Healing Ointment, can help lock in moisture. 4. *Vaseline*: Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) can provide a protective barrier and help retain moisture. Apply the ointment 2-3 times a day, or as needed. If the patch persists or worsens, consult a doctor or dermatologist for further guidance.

I'm dealing with pimples that won't go away, and they're causing this reddish sensation and a bit of burning. I've heard about using RetinoA Tretinoin Cream for this, but I'm not sure if it's really good for these recurring pimples. Is it effective, or could it make the redness and burning worse? What should I expect if I start using it?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
