How does dengue rash look like?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Small, red pinhead likenrashes which seem to be deeply embedded in skin. The rash cannot be felt by running our hand across it.

View allI've just turned 31 and I'm dealing with this annoying fungal rash on my skin for the first time. I vaguely remember my mom having it once too. I'm not too keen on taking oral meds, so I'm wondering if there's a cream that can help treat this?
For fungal skin infections, you can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream called Clotrimazole. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2 to 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before applying the cream. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've used bleach on my skin and now it's turned black. It's been over a week, but there's no glow on my face anymore. What can I do to bring back life to my skin? I'm really worried.

I've noticed that my skin is getting darker every day, and I'm not sure why. My skin is naturally dry, and I have a lot of dark spots, blemishes, and dark circles. Whenever I'm out in the sun, my skin turns red and then gets even darker. I used to have a Wheaties complexion about two years ago, but recently, my skin has been darkening, even though I get 7-8 hours of sleep and I don't smoke or drink. I'm not outside that much, and when I do go out, I always apply sunscreen. Lately, I've also noticed my neck is getting darker along with the rest of my body, which used to be lighter. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I might be able to do about it?
You may be experiencing hyperpigmentation and sun-induced skin darkening. To address this issue, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, to lighten the dark spots and blemishes. Apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can use a vitamin C serum, like Celin Vitamin C Serum, in the morning to help brighten your skin and reduce dark spots. For your dry skin, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream to hydrate and nourish your skin. Apply the moisturizer twice a day, in the morning and evening, on clean skin. To address the redness and sensitivity when exposed to the sun, you can try using a gentle sunscreen specifically formulated for sensitive skin, such as Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunscreen SPF 50. Apply the sunscreen generously on all exposed areas of your skin before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours. For your darkening neck and body, you can also use the Melalite cream on those areas, following the same application instructions as mentioned earlier.
