Question

Can you help me get rid of these hives that have spread all over my body? Every time I scratch them, dark spots appear on my skin. What should I do, and is there a way to prevent these spots?

You can take an antihistamine medication such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing calamine lotion on the affected areas to help relieve itching and reduce inflammation. It is important to avoid scratching the hives to prevent further dark spots from forming. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question

I'm dealing with a fungal infection that my doctor diagnosed about a month ago. I've been on medication, taking Candiforce 200 twice daily, and using O2 derm cream. But now I'm noticing some stretch marks and they're spreading. Is there any nonsteroidal cream you could recommend for this? Also, a friend mentioned using Alograce bathing bar from Mankind. Is that safe to use for my skin condition? Would love your take on this!

Question

Hey, I've been reading up about macular amyloidosis and the dark spots that come with it. I've heard surgery could be a solution, but is it permanent? Are there any other treatments that might help reduce the discoloration without going under the knife? Just trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Couldn't hurt to ask, right?
