Small, red pinhead likenrashes which seem to be deeply embedded in skin. The rash cannot be felt by running our hand across it.

I've been taking these medicines: Syntran 200, Codox, Hizet 25 mg, Lorinol 10, and using Tribex cream and Nozal cream. Now I'm breaking out in red rashes all over my body. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

Given the red rashes after taking those medications, consider stopping them immediately and consulting a doctor as soon as possible; in the meantime, apply a cool compress or calamine lotion to soothe the skin, take an oral antihistamine like diphenhydramine to reduce itching and inflammation, and avoid scratching the affected areas to prevent further irritation.

I've been wondering if I should shave my pubic hair. Im also experiencing quite a lot of itching down there. Could this be related to the pubic hair, or is it something else?

could be due to irritation from shaving, ingrown hairs, skin conditions, fungal infections, or even STIs. Its essential to pay attention to any other symptoms and consider adjusting your hygiene routine, or giving shaving a break if its causing irritation.
