I've noticed that whenever I drink alcohol, within roughly 23 days, the skin near my palms and sometimes my legs starts peeling off, although its less noticeable on my legs. It really doesn't look good and I'm a bit worried about it. Could you help me find a solution or suggest what might be causing this?

I noticed these white patches on the back of my neck and I'm not sure what they are. Could you give me an idea of what they might be and suggest any medications or treatments that could help?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been dealing with this really annoying itching all over my body for the past week. I'm not sure what's causing it and it's really starting to bother me. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do about it?

You may be experiencing a condition called urticaria, also known as hives. To help relieve the itching, you can take cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply calamine lotion to the affected areas for soothing relief. If the itching persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
