I've been having this really weird sensation, feeling like a bunch of needles poking out of my skin, and it's getting worse. It mainly happens when I'm out in the Sun or doing something physical, especially in Winter. The only thing that kinda helps is taking off my clothes and getting near something cold or scratching a lot, but that isn't really a solution. It's not just uncomfortable anymore, it's affecting my daily life and work. I also noticed red patches in the areas where this happens. I try bathing with cold water which helps a bit, but I'm worried because this problem is getting out of hand. I'm hoping there's a more permanent fix or at least something that can make it more manageable. Any advice?

View allI'm getting this rash in the center of my chest. It mostly shows up at night, and it's slightly itchy and reddish. What could this be? Should I be worried?
Usually it comes while night. It's slightly itchy and reddish. This description sounds like it could be a case of contact dermatitis or eczema. I recommend using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) to help with the itching. Additionally, applying a hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid to the affected area can help reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any potential triggers that may be causing the rash. If the rash persists or worsens, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with sinus issues for two years now and to help with the headaches, I've been using Zandu Balm on my forehead. But over the past year, I've noticed that part of my forehead has turned completely black. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can stop this from happening?
The use of Zandu balm on your forehead for an extended period has led to a condition called "contact leukoderma" or "chemical leukoderma." What is Contact Leukoderma? Contact leukoderma is a condition where the skin loses its pigmentation due to exposure to certain chemicals or substances. In your case, the prolonged use of Zandu balm has caused the skin on your forehead to lose its pigmentation, resulting in the black discoloration. How to Avoid Further Discoloration? 1. Stop using Zandu balm: Immediately discontinue the use of Zandu balm on the affected area to prevent further discoloration. 2. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess the affected area and provide guidance on treatment options. 3. Use sun protection: Avoid exposing the affected area to direct sunlight, as this can worsen the discoloration. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outdoors. 4. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from using harsh skin care products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area, as this can cause further irritation and discoloration.
