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.

Why Is My Face Burnt From Sun?
Sunburn can happen when your skin gets too much sunlight. It may feel red, hot, and painful. To cool the sunburn, you can try putting cool cloths and aloe vera gel on your skin. Avoid sun exposure until your skin has healed. Drink plenty of water to help your skin recover faster. Always use sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun.

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.

A boil with pus and an unpleasant smell likely indicates an infection. Avoid squeezing it, and apply warm compresses to help it drain naturally. Keep the area clean, covered, and wash hands before touching it. If the smell worsens or you feel feverish, consult a dermatologist promptly.

Can I Combine Fluconazole 150mg with Siddha Medicines?
Skin fungal infections often manifest as redness, itching, and flaking. They are typically caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, or molds. When considering medications, it's essential to ensure they are compatible. While Fluconazole is effective against yeast infections, incorporating both Siddha and allopathic treatments can be helpful, but please consult your dermatologist for personalized advice. They can evaluate your specific condition and recommend the safest approach. Maintaining good hygiene and following prescribed treatments will aid your recovery.

How to treat skin irritation from peeling oil?
It seems the strong peeling oil you have used is aggravating your skin. Issues such as irritation, redness, and dark patches arise when the products’ concentration is excessive for your skin type. To make your skin feel soft, cleanse it gently with a soft and hydrating cleanser, and then apply fragrance-free moisturizer. The sun’s rays can burn your skin, especially if you are sensitive to it. Alert the doctor to the prolonged irritation problem or, even better, see the dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan.

What are brown spots near my neck and ear?
Potentially, the brown spots you have behind your ear and the hairline might be due to a condition known as seborrheic keratosis. These spots are generally harmless and may come as you age. They don't contain any elements of contagion or cancer. If it damages or bothers you a dermatologist can pop them. Keep conducting thorough skin protection against sun rays to stop more spots appearing on your skin.
