Applying menthol oil, Tea tree oil on the rash relieves itching.Aloe vera gel on the rash soothes itching(Make sure your skin isn't allergic to aloe). Try it on a smaller area before you apply on the rash. Ice pack, any deep mosturizer may also be used

I've been through over 20 laser hair removal sessions on my face with two different doctors, but now Im dealing with even more coarse hair growth than before. Im considering electrolysis for hair removal, but Im unsure if it actually guarantees permanent results or if it's just another method for hair reduction like laser. Could you explain the potential side effects or downsides of electrolysis treatment?

I'm noticing these red, itchy spots in the creases of both my elbows. It's making me worried. Do you know what could be causing this and what I can do to treat it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis. To treat this, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% applied twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil or Eucerin to keep the skin hydrated and prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
