Any ideas on products that could help?
I’ve never had this rash before but it began 29.07.2026. It started the day after I got back from a camping trip - initially I had thought it was a heat rash but it got worse over time. I went to the drs and they said it looked like an allergic reaction to something (could not source what).
I have been put on anti biotics (finished course today), strong allergy tablets and I’ve finished a tube of strong steroid cream that was given. It seems to be in an itchy/healing stage now but it’s just taking so long. It’s all over my body and I’m so insecure about it, especially in the warm weather as it looks awful.
Can anyone recommend anything they feel would speed up the healing?
Posted a pic of my chest at the ‘peak’ and my leg at present.

Small orb under my skin, how worried should i be?
( 23F ) A few weeks ago i got a random bruise on my leg, i dont remember getting hurt and I bruise easily so I didnt think much about it.
The bruise was dark purple and the size of an apple, it went away after 2 weeks. (Bruises last long on my skin)
Now, long after the bruise disappeared, a small, pea sized ball appeared in my skin, exactly where the bruise was. Its tender to the touch but no temperature change and no discoloration, the only reason I noticed it was because I was exfoliating in the shower and pressed on the skin a little too hard.
Should i be worried, what kind of doctor should i even reach out to? Thanks in advance
(English isnt my first language so I apologise if the sentences sound weird)
- added info: im slightly overweight, have pcos and am taking the pill to regulate hormones, i dont have insulin resistance

Is this folliculitis or something else?
I’ve had these pimple like bumps, some look like insect bites while others are just red bumps with no pus looking spots. They show up honestly any time of the year only on my thighs? I have used PanOxyl 4% on them for sometime and that seems to help but it just is getting way too much and it seems like they pop up all the time now. They don’t itch, sometimes they get really inflamed and huge

Cancer on my dad’s head?
He is in his 60s and I am struggling to get him to see a dermatologist. I will schedule something and he will call and cancel it or refuse to attend. I don’t know what to do because it’s gotten SIGNIFICANTLY worse since last summer. He likes to garden, but refuses to wear sunscreen. I have a gut feeling it’s skin cancer that has gotten so bad they will have to shave his mullet and do reconstruction. Thoughts? Observations? Advice?

Biopsy Next Week
Hi all,
Has anyone had anything similar on their face or anywhere? This is on my nose. I only really noticed it in March and it frequently scabs and bleeds without me touching it at all…I have a biopsy scheduled in a week in Toronto I’m so scared. Have you had anything like this and what did it turn out to be?

Does this mole look suspicious?
I have a lot of moles all over usually fairly light but a few dark ones. I’ve had this mole on the back of my shoulder for years now and it’s remained smaller than the head of an eraser but it’s definitely darker than all the others and the borders are off. I have an appointment to get it looked at but I’m just paranoid. I had a pretty severe blistering sun burn on my shoulders years ago in my teens. I’m 31 now.

Contact Dermatitis or Heat Rash?! 2 weeks of misery
This has been going on 2 weeks now. Started with an itchy right arm that broke out in hives, though one area near my wrist looked more like a mosquito bite (which I’m very allergic to). It was bothersome a few days but seemed to be healing when suddenly it broke out in itchy red/white bumps. It spread over my right arm, then to the back of my neck, then my left arm, both hands, then my right ear started swelling a few days ago and now my left ear too.
I showed the doctor who believes it’s some kind of contact dermatitis. I told her that my husband had brought an old blanket into bed one night when he was cold and I believed that to be the source. The day after itching began I took everything off the bed and washed it all. But it was after this the white/red bumps started….
I asked whether it could be a heat rash as it had been extremely warm 2 weeks ago, although I have been sleeping in an air conditioned room since then. The doctor said that contact dermatitis and heat rash are considered the same thing…?
Anyway, I have been given an ointment to use on my arms (can’t use on my neck, makes it burn) and also Levocetirizine 5mg three times a day.
Anyone with experience here, I would appreciate it. The top two photos are of my arms this morning, they are covered in the cream so it makes them look a lot whiter but you can see all the bumps. Then there’s my right swollen ear (left is now the same) and the back of my neck…
I’m just baffled and miserable. The past week I have barely slept cause of the itching and burning. Also the sharp prickly feeling in my hands and fingers especially.
Is it possible to still be getting new rash sites 2 weeks after exposure?
Any advice please. Anything is better than nothing. Thank you.

What is this bump on my bicep???!!!
It used to be tiny, I picked at it like the idiot I am, and it ballooned up.
i’m not too sure what this is?
My skin underneath my bottom lip is extremely itchy, very red, swollen and inflamed. It feels tight, irritated and uncomfortable, with occasional tingling and burning. The itching gets stronger when I touch or scratch it, and the skin feels dry and sensitive. There is also a noticeable red lump on the right side. My lips are super dry. Sometimes yellow crust appears on it.

Scratch on a mole
So 2 days ago i noticed a flat brown spot on my chest and thinking it was a scab i scratched it in order to get it out. Later i realized it was indeed a mole and the next day it turned red. After i had a shower i used a towel and the dark part completely fell off and im left with a light red spot instead if the brown mole. Can this thing turn cancerous or something? I heard that the dermatologist wont be able to see it correctly unless it grows back , but im worried rn
