I've suddenly developed a weird reaction to anything sour. Whenever I eat sour foods, my lips become super dry and chapped, and then they start swelling and get this red rash. It's so frustrating, and I don't know what could help this. Have you ever seen something like this, and what should I do to manage it?

Consider consulting an allergist or dermatologist to determine the specific acid(s) causing the reaction; in the meantime, avoid sour foods and products containing citric acid, malic acid, or tartaric acid; apply topical creams or ointments like petroleum jelly, aloe vera,

I'm dealing with these really uncomfortable thigh rashes, and someone suggested I try using a cream called DEROBIN. However, after applying it, I've noticed the areas have become itchy, swollen, and theres a red, hard circle forming. I'm a bit concerned about whether this is a normal reaction or if I should stop using it immediately. Could this be an allergic reaction, or do you think there might be another underlying cause?
The cream DEROBIN is a combination medication that contains Beclomethasone and Clotrimazole. It is used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and fungal infections. In your case, for thigh rashes with itching, swelling, and red hard circles, you can apply DEROBIN cream thinly on the affected areas twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to clean and dry the area before applying the cream. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
