My IgE level is very high, around 1561, and Im experiencing itching all over my body. Ive been taking Leemav every second day and have used Ebast for a month. Im submitting my blood reportcan you suggest what I should do next?

Based on your symptoms and high IgE levels, it seems like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction. I recommend you start taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily to help with the itching. Additionally, you can add Zyrtec (Cetirizine) 10mg once daily for better control of your symptoms. Make sure to continue with your current medication and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I have boil on my scrotum , what is the recomended medicine for this problem

I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any pain or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the boil does not improve or gets worse, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Ive been using Skin Lite cream for about 5 years, but I recently stopped using it. Now, Im experiencing itching, irritation, and my skin is getting darker. What should I do to fix this? Is it normal, and how can I treat it?

Long-term use of skin-lightening creams like Skin Lite can cause skin damage and rebound darkening. Stop using the cream completely and avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen (SPF 30+). Keep your skin moisturized with gentle, fragrance-free creams. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment, such as medications or therapies to repair and even out your skin.
