My husband keeps getting boils pretty often, like at least once a month, and it's really worrying us. Even though he maintains good hygiene, they just keep coming back. He also has issues with his skin, like acne and pimples, and occasionally he deals with allergies too. Is there something we might be missing or should be doing differently? What do you suggest?

I've been dealing with these constant headaches and my whole body just won't stop itching. Honestly, it feels like I'm getting poked by a thousand needles, and I've noticed some red marks popping up in a few spots. It's getting worse with each passing day. Could you figure out what's going on with me and what I should do?

You may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction. To address the itching and redness, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily. For the headache, you can take Acetaminophen (500mg) as needed for pain relief. However, it is important to identify and avoid the trigger causing your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
