I've noticed a big rash on the side of my neck, and I'm worried it might be caused by lizard urine getting on my skin. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could this really be the cause, and what should I do to treat it?

If you suspect a skin rash is caused by lizard urine, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water, then apply an antiseptic cream and a topical steroid cream to reduce inflammation; take an oral antihistamine to alleviate itching and seek medical attention if the rash worsens, spreads, or is accompanied by fever, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

View allI'm dealing with allergies and these really bothersome skin rashes. Plus, I've got these painful oozing bumps on my scalp. It seems like I react to a lot of good stuff and it gets worse in hot, humid weather. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Allergies and skin rashes along with oozing scalp bumps can be indicative of a condition such as atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) or Zyrtec (cetirizine) to manage your allergies. For the skin rashes, you can apply hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. Additionally, for the oozing scalp bumps, you may benefit from using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide, such as Nizoral shampoo, to help with scalp inflammation. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication.

I've never been a smoker, but my lips are really dark, and I'm desperate to lighten them. I've tried a bunch of home remedies like lemon, honey, and beetroot, but nothing seems to work. What else can I do to help get rid of this?
Darkening of lips could be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, dehydration, Sun exposure. Identify the cause and address it. Use a lip balm with spf 15 or higher to protect them.Ensure you drink plenty of water daily. use a gentle scrub to exfoliate dead skin 2-3 times a week. use moisturising and hydrating lip balms.
