I've been staying at a friend's place for a few days and now I'm getting incredibly itchy bites, but I can't actually see anything on my skin. I'm pretty sure I might have mites and it's driving me nuts. I've tried washing with a sulfur-based body wash for a couple of days, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there anything else I could do to get rid of these mites and stop the itching?

To combat mite infestation, in addition to the sulfur-based body wash, try washing and drying clothing and bedding in hot water and high heat, drying non-washable items in the sun, using a dehumidifier to reduce moisture, applying calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to soothe itching, and considering over-the-counter permethrin or pyrethrin

View allI've been dealing with a really red and irritated rash along my mustache line, and it's super dry and itchy. Recently, I also noticed a lump on the right side of my jaw, and I can't figure out why it's there. Plus, my acne seems to be getting worse. I've been using moisturizer and washing my face with 10% benzoyl peroxide, but I've avoided using it in the rashy area for months. I first noticed the dryness and flakiness around the start of the year. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

I'm experiencing some irritation on my face after using Faiza beauty cream from Poonia Brothers in Pakistan for about a week. I'm thinking about stopping it, but I'm wondering if I should use a different cream to help with the irritation. What would you recommend?
To remedy the irritation caused by the Faiza Beauty Cream, stopping its use was the right step. Focus on gentle skincare, moisturization, and soothing remedies like aloe vera. If the irritation persists, seek advice from a dermatologist for further care.

I'm really worried about whether the Nevlon lotion I'm using might be clogging my pores. I have acne-prone skin, and the last thing I want is to make it worse. Could you suggest some good non-comedogenic moisturizers that would be safe for my skin type?
Yes, Nevlon lotion may clog pores due to its comedogenic ingredients; for acne-prone skin, consider non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, or La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Fluid, which are labeled "non-comedogenic" or "oil-free" to minimize pore clogging and acne risk.
