I've been noticing some red rashes on my legs, arms, and back since yesterday. Initially, I thought it might be something I ate, but Im not really sure. It gets pretty itchy in the morning, and when I scratch, the rashes seem to spread. After lunch, the rash flared up again but disappeared a bit after I took some medicine. I'm worried about why this is happening. Could it be something serious?

You may be experiencing an allergic reaction. To help alleviate the itching and rash, you can take an antihistamine. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help reduce the itching and inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with a pretty serious skin allergy lately, and it's been driving me crazy with all the itching. Got these small red pimples popping up on my hands and all over my body. It's like never-ending itching and rashes, and it sucks. I've already tried taking Avil 50, like about six tablets, one each day, hoping it might be some kind of allergy thing, but nothing's really changed. Could you suggest something that might actually help?

Sounds like you are experiencing a severe allergic reaction. I recommend you take a combination of Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily and Hydrocortisone cream for topical application on the affected areas twice a day. Additionally, you can take Ranitidine (brand name Zantac) 150mg twice daily to help reduce the allergic response. Make sure to avoid any known triggers and keep the affected areas clean and moisturized.

I've had this stubborn deep black spot on my nose for a while now. I've tried chemical peels and even laser treatments, but nothing seems to work. Is there any cosmetic surgery or other procedure that could finally get rid of it? I'm really worried it might be permanent.
