My girlfriend just started getting these weird red streaky rashes on her hands, legs, and back out of nowhere this afternoon. At first, it kinda looked like shed been scratched by a cat or something, but thats definitely not it. Should we be worried and see a doctor ASAP?

View allI'm dealing with these painful boils near my anus and I'm not sure what kind of cream would help. Are there any specific antibiotics I should be taking for this? I'm really concerned and looking for some advice.
Boils near the anus area can be painful and uncomfortable. I'll provide some general guidance, but please consult a doctor or dermatologist for personalized advice. Causes of Boils Boils are usually caused by bacterial infections, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. In the anus area, boils can be triggered by: 1. Poor hygiene 2. Tight clothing 3. Sweating 4. Anal sex 5. Weakened immune system Creams and Ointments For boils near the anus area, your doctor may recommend: 1. Topical antibiotics: Neosporin, Bacitracin, or Mupirocin cream to combat bacterial infections. 2. Pain-relieving creams: Lidocaine or benzocaine cream to reduce discomfort and pain. 3. Anti-inflammatory creams: Hydrocortisone cream to reduce swelling and inflammation. Antibiotics If the boil is severe, large, or doesn't improve with topical treatments, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics: 1. Cephalexin: A cephalosporin antibiotic effective against Staphylococcus aureus. 2. Clindamycin: A lincosamide antibiotic that targets Staphylococcus aureus and other bacteria. 3. Amoxicillin-clavulanate: A penicillin-type antibiotic that combines amoxicillin and clavulanate to combat a broad range of bacteria. Home Remedies In addition to medical treatments, some home remedies can help alleviate symptoms: 1. Warm compresses: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the affected area to promote drainage and relieve pain. 2. Good hygiene: Keep the area clean with mild soap and water. 3. Avoid tight clothing: Wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce irritation.

I'm using Erytop lotion twice a day, once in the morning and then again before I go to bed. Is it okay to apply sunscreen over Erytop in the morning? And at night, can I put on a moisturizer after using the Erytop lotion? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
