Suggest Treatment For Red Spots On Back, Arms, Face And Scalp
I have red spots on my back, some on my arms and some on my scalp, and two on my face. I have used creams that my dermatologists prescribed, but my rash has not improved. I am now wondering if I may have an allergy to coconut oil, which I use every night (I thought I had found my answer to dry skin). I also use argon oil and maracuja oil before applying make up. I am allergic to latex and have had two allergy test, but of course, each time the results are different. I am at my wits end trying to figure out what is going on with my skin. Do you have any suggestions?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you have an allergic response to one of the oils that you are using.
It may be possible to have allergy testing for these oils as well, you should discuss this possibility with your doctor.
You can consider discontinuation of one of the oils to see if the rash improves or stabilises.
I hope this helps
