Question 1

Ive been dealing with a skin allergy that causes swelling all over my body. My doctor said its due to seafood, but the problem is still continuing. Ive been taking Allegra 120mg for the past 4 months, but whenever I stop even for one day, the allergy comes back. Im worried about the side effects of taking this medication long-term. Is there a solution to this or something else I can do?

Accepted Answer

It seems like you are experiencing a persistent allergic reaction despite taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 120mg daily. In such cases, you may benefit from a different class of antihistamines such as Cetirizine (Zyrtec) 10mg once daily or Loratadine (Claritin) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can consider adding a mast cell stabilizer like Cromolyn sodium (Nasalcrom) to prevent the release of histamine in your body. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Question 3

I have white patches on both knees and elbows and have taken medical treatment for 3 months but still it seems increasing. Tab.vitibex 2 times a day and melgain lotion 2 times a day on diet of sour and spicy foods.

Accepted Answer

It seems like you're being treated for vitiligo, a condition causing white patches. Despite 3 months of treatment, the patches are increasing.

Concerns with your current treatment and diet:

1. *Treatment duration*: 3 months might not be sufficient for noticeable improvement.
2. *Diet*: Consuming sour and spicy foods may exacerbate vitiligo symptoms. Consider avoiding or reducing these foods.
3. *Sun protection*: Are you using sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily?

Recommendations:

1. *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your concerns and the increasing patches.
2. *Dietary changes*: Consider a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
3. *Sun protection*: Ensure you're using adequate sunscreen and protective clothing.
4. *Alternative treatments*: Your doctor may suggest other options, such as phototherapy or immunomodulators.

Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to reassess your treatment plan.

Question 4

Ive noticed a red pimple, kind of big, under my left breast. Now its turned dark, and there are smaller red pimples next to it. Im really worried it could be cancer. Could these be symptoms of breast cancer? Im not sure if its related, but I recently...

Don't worry, I'm here to help you figure out what might be going on.The symptoms you're describing - a red pimple under your left breast that's turned dark, with other small red pimples nearby - are unlikely to be breast cancer. Breast cancer typically presents as a lump or thickening in the breast tissue, not as pimples or skin lesions [1).That being said, it's always a good idea to get any new or changing skin symptoms checked out by a doctor. They can take a closer look and provide a proper diagnosis.As for the possible causes, sweat and friction from exercising and wearing a tight bra could definitely contribute to skin irritation and pimples in that area. This is especially likely if you're not wearing a sports bra that fits well and allows for good airflow

Question 5

I'm really struggling with a skin issue right now and need a good cream urgently. Can you recommend a cream that can help with this problem? It's causing a lot of trouble and I need something effective as soon as possible.

Please specify what are the symptoms you are facing, along with the duration of the symptoms
