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 getting this weird mark that looks like a hickey on my neck. It's shown up three times in the exact same spot since last fall. The thing is, I know it's definitely not a hickey, and it doesn't itch or hurt. I'm pretty nervous because I haven't done anything that might cause it. I'm 39 and in decent health, and even using hydrocortisone cream hasn't helped. It's hard to see a doctor because by the time I get an appointment, it disappears. It just pops up out of nowhere. What do you think might be going on?

What's the cost of getting laser treatment for tanning on my face? I'd really like to know about any changes I might see afterward and if there are any side effects. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it generally safe? I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on this.
The cost of laser treatment for your face regarding tanning can range from Rs 1,000 to Rs 30,000 per session in India. The treatment can help reduce tanning, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone by targeting melanin and promoting collagen production. As for side effects, you may experience minor and temporary issues like redness, pain, or infections, but these can be minimized by choosing a reputable clinic and experienced dermatologist.

I'm using metacortil lite cream for about a week now for my pimple marks and to lighten my skin tone. I havent noticed any side effects yet and no breakouts either. The marks are getting lighter too. My concern is, will this cream make my skin darker in the future? And what happens if I stop using it once my skin becomes clear and fair?
