What Could Be The Underlying Issue That Causes Persistent Rashes And Pimples Despite Hydration
Hello. My skin has stubborn rashes every now and then especially when it s hot. The rash can t go away on its own unless I apply a certain cream. Now I m beginning to have some pimples on the cheek. I drink 2L to 3L of still/boiled water daily. Can you help me figure out what s the problem.

Hello,
It is good to know that you are keeping yourself well hydrated. Do take adequate amount of water and fluids. Your symptoms are indicative of heat rashes, the pimples on the cheeks can be due to hormonal imbalance, constipation, poor hygiene, oily skin, having excessive amount of non- vegetarian food. Take a lot of fiber in your regular diet for better bowel movement. Constipation triggers pimples. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
Stay in a cool room that is well aerated to avoid getting heat rash. Take bath regularly and avoid the use of harsh soaps and beauty lotions that are not herbal. Wear loose fitting cotton clothes. Take lots of berries, fruits and veggie. Do not touch, scratch or pick. You can apply ointment Betnovate C at bedtime for 5-7 days. Take doxycycline-100mg, twice daily for 5 days to get rid of the symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
