I am 52 years old, and I have come up with a rash on different parts of my body. I am still on the mini pill, but the doctor has told me to stop taking them and to do a blood test. Today, my cheeks are very flushed. Could you help me, please?

Rashes can be caused by a number of things, including; medication, stress, food, dehydration, constipation etc.

It is best to do as the doctor suggested and hopefully they will find the cause.

In the meantime, you may find that drinking a couple of cups of nettle tea may help, and also make sure that you are drinking plenty of plain water every day as dehydration can make symptoms worse.
