Question 1

Hi Ma'amSir, 
I have been having allergy(mainly from dust, certain foods and from certain medicines) since my childhood. Recently I checked my IGE was as high as 1200, I am taking Techzine 5 mg daily for my allergy. Also when I have allergy I feel some burning sensation in my eyes and I have itching as well as certain red spots on my hands and legs. My question is- My IGE being as high as 1200, is this a cause of concern? I am really worried about this, please do let me know. 
Kind Regards, 
Manas Medhi.

Based on your symptoms and high IgE levels, it is important to continue managing your allergies. In addition to Techzine 5 mg, you can also consider adding Allegra 180 mg once daily to help with the itching, red spots, and burning sensation in your eyes. It is also advisable to avoid triggers that worsen your allergies, such as dust and certain foods. Monitoring your IgE levels regularly with your doctor is recommended to track your response to treatment.

Question 2

Hi doctor, Ive been having a concern regarding my hymen. It broke during some athletic activities back in school, and now that Im getting married, Im wondering if theres a way to repair it. Can you suggest any solutions or treatments for this?

Accepted Answer

I recommend consulting with a gynecologist who can evaluate your condition and suggest the appropriate treatment. In some cases, a surgical procedure called hymenoplasty may be performed to repair the hymen. This procedure can be done using local anesthesia and usually takes about 30-45 minutes. After the procedure, it is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your doctor.

Accepted Answer

Itching in the tailbone and upper buttock crevices can indeed be a sign of a fungal infection, especially if it has not improved with calamine lotion. You can try using an antifungal cream like Livafin (Terbinafine) twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the healing process.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you might have a painful bump, possibly an ingrown hair, cyst, or a localized infection. It's best to avoid pressing on it. Keep the area clean, and apply warm compresses to reduce pain and swelling. If the bump doesn't improve or worsens, consider seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment.
