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.

I've been dealing with ringworm for over two months now, and I'm really worried. I've got some Dazit tablets and Itzzh Livafin cream, and I've also read about using Mupin. Is it safe to use these all together? Do you think this combo could help me get rid of it finally? I'm really concerned and would love some guidance on this.

I've got a bit of a skin issue. I bleached my face when I was in 9th grade and then used melamet cream for about 4 months. It made my skin fairer initially, but once summer hit, my skin ended up darker than before. After a 2-month break, I tried bleaching again, and now my face looks yellowish-brown and oily. What should I do?
