Question 1

i have red bumps and redness after plucking facial hair. is it normal to still have them a day later? how long before bumps and redness go away?

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis: inflamed  or infected hair follicles usually from contaminated tweezers. I suggest boiling your tweezers and after cooling down, wipe with rubbing alcohol: do this a least weekly. Use 1% OTC hydrocortisone cream on the reddened areas; however, if pus forms, you will need antibiotics.

Question 2

i am experiencing small red bumps on top of feet that do not itch and redness in both armpits that occasionally itch?

Accepted Answer

Razor bumps: It sounds like razor bumps.  If you are using a razor on either of those areas...that’s the likely cause. If not, some sort of ectopic dermatitis is a possibility.  See a dermatologist.

Question 3

what is a good drug store medicine for an allergic reaction? i have redness on my eyelids and a lot of red bumps all over my face.

Accepted Answer

Benedryl: Benadryl or the generic called "diphenhydramine" is often the drug store's own brand of allergy medicine. It can possibly cause some drowsiness so use caution but it can be your first line choice for an allergic reaction. If it does not help or the reaction gets worse or you start to have any trouble swallowing, go to the er asap for help.
