Hi,

You seem to have 2 problems -

1. The rash on face and neck with the scalp problem - This may be an allergic reaction to external allergen or to food that you consumed.

2. Acid problem and vomiting - seems like an acute Gastroenteritis again food or water borne.

My suggestions to you:

-Apply calamine lotion immediately to the rashes on the face and neck. Check your scalp for any pus-containing boil

- Please take Omeprazole 20mg that is available over the counter on empty stomach right away.

- wait for half an hour and then start taking liquids slowly.

- Rest for a while.

Do write back for further discussion.

Hi,

Are you sexually active? If yes, please do a urine pregnancy test to confirm on your pregnancy status. Else, the cause for you not having period in last 4 months would be something else like a hormonal imbalance.

In such a case, you need to get a transvaginal ultrasound done. In addition, you may consider taking progesterone pills to have a withdrawal bleeding.

Let me know if you have more queries.
