I've got a cut on my leg and have been using povirexm cream for about 5 days, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I'm just wondering what I could do to help the skin heal over the cut more effectively. Any advice?

View allI'm seeing these itchy red bumps that look like pimples on my forearms and ears. They first appeared two days ago on my hands and ears but have now spread to my forearms. They're not on my biceps or shoulders, which are usually covered by my t-shirt. Could this be related to the weather change? I was driving in the sun two days ago during the daytime and started noticing these patches afterward. What do you think?
Causes* 1. *Sun Allergy (Polymorphic Light Eruption)*: Exposure to sunlight, especially during peak hours, can trigger an allergic reaction, leading to itchy red bumps. 2. *Phototoxicity*: Certain medications or skincare products can react with sunlight, causing a phototoxic reaction, which may present with similar symptoms. 3. *Contact Dermatitis*: Exposure to an allergen or irritant, such as soap, detergent, or plant sap, can cause a skin reaction, especially on exposed areas like forearms and ears. 4. *Heat Rash (Miliaria)*: Prolonged exposure to heat and sunlight can cause heat rash, characterized by small, itchy bumps. *Next Steps* 1. *Seek shade and avoid further sun exposure*: Until the symptoms resolve, limit your time in the sun, especially during peak hours. 2. *Apply cool compresses*: To reduce itching and inflammation, apply a cool, wet compress to the affected areas. 3. *Use topical creams or ointments*: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion can help alleviate itching and inflammation.

I'm having these really painful lumps under my arms and they're starting to form pus. It's super uncomfortable and only seems to get better when the pus drains out. Could you recommend a cream or maybe an antibiotic that could help with this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an infection, possibly an abscess or hidradenitis suppurativa. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, applying warm compresses can help relieve pain, and an antibiotic cream like **mupirocin** might be helpful if prescribed. If the condition worsens, oral antibiotics may be necessary.
