I've had this skin allergy on my stomach and back for almost three weeks now. It's a red circle with small dots outside and really itchy, kind of like those ring guard ones. I've tried calamine lotion and taken some Avil, but it's still bothering me. Any idea what's going on or what else I should do?

View allI've been taking Allegra 180 for three days and stopped it, but now, around a month later, I've noticed lots of tiny dots in my mouth and they're kind of burning. Could this be a side effect from the Allegra?
The symptoms you are experiencing in your mouth may be due to a condition called oral thrush, which can sometimes occur as a side effect of taking Allegra. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Nystatin oral suspension. You can swish the medication in your mouth for about 30 seconds before swallowing. The usual dosage is 4-6 mL four times a day. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene practices such as regular brushing and flossing can also help alleviate the symptoms.

I'm really concerned about the pimples I get just before my menstruationthey used to go away but now they're kind of a constant thing. I've been trying to avoid junk food and sugar, and I'm using calamine and a salicylic acid face wash, but they just won't clear up. Recently, I've been getting these large pimples on my cheeks that swell up but don't really hurt. After a few days, they form a head and start leaking pus and blood. Could this be a sign of type 2 diabetes?

I've been feeling really itchy under my breasts and in my groin area, especially since winter started here in Pune. It's getting pretty uncomfortable. The skin has turned this odd dark brown color, and it's kind of awful now that its even up to my cleavage. I'm wondering if there's some home remedy I could try to sort this out, or should I be talking to a specialist about this?
This could be a fungal infection, such as Tinea corporis (ringworm), which commonly affects these areas due to warm and moist conditions. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Keep the areas clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothes to allow the skin to breathe. Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen despite home remedies, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
