My 3.5-year-old has been dealing with these itchy hives all over their body that are really irritating. It seems to happen everywhere. What could be causing this, and how can we help soothe the itching? Are there any common triggers we should be looking out for?

You are suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy, infection or drugs taken for some condition. It presents with itching resulting in formation of red rashes which we call hives or wheals. Although in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be treated with medicines so that you do not get any new hives. The treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 1 to 6 months.

View allI've been struggling with acne and oily skin for years now, and it's gotten to the point where I just really want to have acne-free, glowing skin. I've noticed small holes on my face too. Do you have any advice or treatments that could help with these concerns? I'm feeling pretty frustrated with my skin situation and would love to know if there's something I could try.
For acne and oily skin, you can try using a combination of topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid-based products. You can also consider using a retinoid cream to help with acne and improve skin texture. Additionally, oral medications like oral antibiotics or isotretinoin may be prescribed by a doctor for severe cases. To improve the appearance of small holes on your face (which may be due to acne scars or enlarged pores), treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy can be beneficial.

I've noticed some white patches on the skin of my testicles, like about an inch big, and sometimes they get itchy. I've been using antifungal powder to try and keep the area dry, but I'm still worried. What could this be, and is there anything else I should be doing?

I've been using Cosmelite cream for about a month now, as my dermatologist recommended it. But I've noticed that once I stop using it, my skin turns very dark. I'm worried and a bit confused. Is there a chance that this cream could cause skin cancer?
The risk of skin cancer from Cosmelite cream is considered low when used as prescribed by a doctor for a short duration.
