I've noticed that the skin on my finger joints and knuckles is really rough and dark. It's not dry or anything, but the texture feels different from the rest of my skin. I'm kind of worried about why that might be happening. Could there be specific reasons for this?

View allMy mom is about 60 and has been diagnosed with Shingles. It all started with back pain last Sunday and within a week, red rashes appeared on her back. We initially assumed it was due to the hot weather, but our family doctor confirmed it's Shingles. She's been in a lot of pain and says it's burning. We're pretty worried about it. Should we consult a skin specialist for this? What should we do next?

I'm getting these red, mosquito-bite-like spots that itch a lot, and every day a new one seems to pop up. After a couple of days, they turn into dark spots. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've noticed that when I have to stand for long periods, my feet start swelling, and I get these little red spots on my feet and calves. It seems to happen pretty quickly after I start feeling some itchiness down there. The spots start off small but then kind of join together to form larger patches. My skin doesnt peel, but my feet do get pretty swollen. It usually takes a couple of days for the spots to go away, and by the next day, the swelling decreases if I rest. I also get this when I fly for long hours. I had a Doppler test done, and they said there's no DVT. What could be causing this? And is there anything I should be doing to prevent it?
There could be varicose veins which might be minimal,visit Vascular surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management
