I have a red spot on my right tonsil and my left tonsil is larger than my right. Should I be concerned? How long have you had the redness? How old are you? Are you currently using any medications? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I have a rash and pimples on my head that started after a massage. I suspect it might be due to bacteria from dirty hands. The rash is itchy, feels hot, and is red almost everywhere. I've tried over-the-counter creams and shampoos like ketoconazole and clobetasol, but they haven't helped.

What could this rash be, and what treatment options are available?
