Non-Itchy Red Patches with Tiny Bumps: Should I Be Concerned?
Tiny red patches with small bumps that don’t itch or hurt could be due to a mild skin condition like keratosis pilaris, pityriasis rosea, or a mild allergic reaction. Since there's no itching or inflammation, it doesn’t sound urgent — but it's still best to have a dermatologist examine it in person to rule out any underlying cause. Keep the area clean, avoid harsh soaps, and monitor for any changes.

Cholinergic Urticaria: Rash, Itching & Swelling Triggered by Heat and Stress
Cholinergic urticaria is a type of heat-induced allergy where small, itchy rashes appear with swelling. It’s usually triggered by stress, hot weather, spicy food, or physical activity that raises body temperature. The immune system overreacts to heat or sweat, causing hives. Antihistamines and avoiding triggers help manage symptoms. If severe, consult a dermatologist for long-term treatment.

Can Childhood Stitches Reopen While Trekking at Age 19?
If the stitches were from your childhood and the wound healed completely, there’s no risk of them reopening now—the skin and tissues would have fully recovered.
You can safely go trekking, but if you feel pain or notice weakness at the old injury site, consider getting it checked once from dermatologist before your trip. Otherwise, you're good to go!

Wrist Cut Healing with Yellow Coating – Is It Infected?
The yellow layer on your wound could be a normal part of healing (called a fibrin layer), but it can also indicate mild infection if it looks thick, has a bad smell, or is painful.
Since it's not looking good to you, it’s best to keep the area clean, avoid touching it often, and consult a dermatologist to check if you need an antibiotic or proper wound care.
Continue applying Cipladine if advised, but don’t ignore any signs of redness, swelling, or pus.

How to Get Rid of Melasma and Pigmentation Effectively
To get rid of melasma and pigmentation, focus on a consistent skincare routine and medical guidance. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to prevent worsening. Topical creams with ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or azelaic acid can help lighten dark spots. For deeper pigmentation, treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or microneedling may be recommended by a dermatologist. Always consult a skin specialist before starting any treatment to ensure it's right for your skin type. With patience and the right care, pigmentation can be reduced effectively.
