Question 1

For the past two months, I've been getting red rashes in the evenings, mostly on my face, back, and feet. They last for about 2-3 hours and then go away on their own. Allegra makes them disappear, but they come back about 48 hours later. This happened last year too around August, but Allegra worked back then. What's going on, and how can I figure out a solution?

Ive noticed that my upper lip is very dark, and the skin at the corners of my lips is also darker than the rest of my face. My lips are also really dry and chapped all year round. Is there anything I can do to fix these issues for good?

Yes, these problems can be effectively managed and potentially cured with a combination of topical treatments, lifestyle changes, and professional interventions, such as using lip balms with SPF, exfoliating with sugar or salt scrubs, applying turmeric or lemon juice to reduce hyperpigmentation, and consulting a dermatologist for chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments to address persistent issues.

Accepted Answer

Based on your IgE levels being more than 2000 and your history of eczema, it indicates a strong allergic response in your body. To help manage your symptoms, you can take antihistamines like Cetirizine 10mg once daily. In addition, for your eczema, you can use a topical corticosteroid like Hydrocortisone cream twice daily on the affected areas
