I'm really worried because he's developed a skin allergy and I've attached some pictures. He's been taking cetirizene for the past couple of days. What kind of skin condition could this possibly be? Is it safe for him to keep taking the medication for another two days until he can see a doctor?

Based on your description, the skin condition could be: 1. Urticaria (hives) 2. Eczema (atopic dermatitis) 3. Contact dermatitis 4. Allergic reaction Cetirizine Tablet Usage Cetirizine is an antihistamine that can help alleviate symptoms of allergies. If the person has already been taking cetirizine for 2 days, they can likely continue taking it for 2 more days until consulting a doctor.

Question

I've been getting these red rashes on my inner thighs and around the vaginal area, and they're really itchy. It seems like it's spreading to other parts of my body. Could you recommend any medicines or creams that could help with this and let me know how long I should use them for?

Question

I've been dealing with this issue for more than 17 years. It all started with one or two pimple-like bumps filled with pus on my scalp, and now they've gotten bigger and show up almost everywhere on my scalp except the bald areas. I've seen multiple doctors, and while the problem goes away with medication, it always comes back when I stop taking it. One doctor mentioned a powerful medicine that might affect my kidneys, so I stuck with the current medication, but there's still no relief. It's been this way for over a decade, and whenever the bumps appear, I use antibiotics like Gudcef CV 200 and Azithromycin, among others. I've also tried shampoos like Candid TV and Nizoral ketoconazole. I even consulted a doctor last year hoping for a permanent fix, but he seemed money-minded and kept me on repeated medication. Could you give some advice on how I might manage this condition more effectively or if theres a treatment that might help in the long run?

Question

I'm noticing my skin is getting darker every day, and now there's this small white patch at the corner of my eye. I'm a college student, and I'm in the sun for around 3-4 hours daily, so I think that's why my skin's darkening. Plus, I've got dark circles around my eyes and dark patches near my mouth. My T-zone seems darker too. Can you tell me what's happening and what I should do about it?
