Ive been noticing these patches on my skin that have popped up in places like my armpits and the backs of my elbows and knees, and theyre really itchy. Should I be worried about these rashes? What could be causing them? I'm not sure if this is something serious or just a skin irritation. Any advice on what I should do or how to treat it would be really helpful.

I'm really worried because I've been noticing these white spots on my feet that keep spreading. It's been over a month now, and even though my doctor prescribed this ointment called Halonexts, I'm not seeing any improvement. My skin is peeling, and the white patches are just getting worse. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really worried about my hand. The back of my palm has turned black, and it's super dry. I've been using olive oil for the past four days, hoping it'll help, but I'm not sure if it's working. I've also been using hand sanitizer and Dettol hand wash a lot. Could that be affecting my skin? Is this why my hand looks like this? I've got some photos of it too.

Yes you can use it no problem, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment
