Could red, painful spots on back be bug bites?

I am a 26 year old female. I went on vacation to Rhode Island. On Thursday after arriving I went and sat in a porch swing outside. A couple minutes later I felt something bite me. First it looked like mosquitos. Now it does not. Now it burns/stings. It does not itch. They are red and kinda scabbed over like. I have about 9 spots in a cluster on my back right in the middle of my spine. They are really uncomfortable.

You may have been bitten by a spider or some other bug that causes irritation. Initially these bites may resemble mosquito bites but they change with time. A burning/stinging sensation is a frequent symptom. To ease the discomfort, you could try applying a cold compress to the area. If it does not improve or if you start to feel unwell, visit a dermatologist.

Greetings sir my daughter is four years old she was some what black with your suggestion I want her for skin whitening treatment which one is permanent for her chemical peel or Laser treatment please suggest me sir

Female | 4

Neither of these treatments is recommended for children under the age of 18. Chemical peels and laser treatments are not permanent skin whitening treatments. These treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but they will not permanently lighten the skin.

I have black neck from a very long time I really want a cure for it

Male | 16

Acanthosis Nigricans is what you are suffering from, a skin condition that causes your neck to darken compared to the rest of your body. This may occur if you are obese or have diabetes. It is important to work on reducing your weight and controlling your blood sugar levels. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining the cleanliness of your skin can gradually improve this problem.

Our Child Was Handling Rabbits As His Pet, Due to Which He's Got Rashes Everywhere And Itching.

Male | 10

You need to visit dermatologist immediately if your child is experiencing rashes and itching due to handling pets. Depending on the severity of the reaction, the doctor may prescribe an anti-itch cream or an oral medication. By that time keep the area clean and dry. avoid touching the rabbits until the rash has cleared. Ensure that the rabbits are healthy and free of any parasites or other conditions that could have caused the reaction. Use gloves in the future when handling them.

Male | 21

Experiencing painful cracked corners of mouth, a condition which is also known as angular stomatitis, might be intolerable. This kind of condition might be brought about by a number of reasons such as vitamin deficiency, yeast infection, or drooling. The main symptoms involve the appearances of redness, swelling, and sores at the corners of the mouth. Ways to get it healed include keeping the area dry, applying the lip balm, and eating a balanced diet that has fruits and vegetables high in vitamins.

Pigmentation diet and medicine

Female | 25

Pigmentation is triggered by different factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and hormonal changes. A balanced diet rich in antioxidants and drinking a lot of water may help improve skin health. You should consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. They may prescribe an appropriate medication and recommend certain lifestyle changes to control pigmentation.

Female | 20

There are many reasons why your skin may appear older than you’d like. Some of the most common include excessive sun exposure, smoking, and dehydration. Additionally, stress and genetics can also contribute to this issue. To improve the condition of your skin, it is advisable to apply sunscreen every day, drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, and quit smoking. Using mild cleansers along with moisturizers can help maintain a healthy complexion.
