I've noticed a rash on both sides of my neck that appeared after sex, and it's still there after 3 days. It's made up of red spots. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I've had these leech bites from a few months ago, and even though I've been putting boroline on them regularly, they just won't go away. They're not super bothersome, but they do itch sometimes, and it's been quite a while now. Should I be worried or try something else?

Seems like the leech bites may have caused some irritation and itching. To help with the healing process and alleviate the itching, you can try applying an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for about a week. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Claritin can also help with the itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm having this weird issue where every night my knees and elbows start itching, and I get these small rashes. I've been using Tetmosol soap and Dettol liquid when I bathe, but I'm not sure if that's helping. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or any suggestions on what I should do?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
