Question

I've been dealing with hives and took longifene for a week, which seemed to help initially. But now my cheeks are red, and after seeing a doctor, it's just gotten worse with itching all over my face, small pimples, and even more redness. What's going on, and what should I do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or a skin condition. To help with the itching, redness, and small pimples on your face, you can try taking cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply hydrocortisone cream 1% topically on the affected areas twice a day. Make sure to avoid any triggers that may worsen your symptoms, such as certain foods or skincare products. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question

I've been dealing with hair loss and went to see a dermatologist who prescribed some medications. I've been using two lotions - URTO and Racine - along with biotin and vitamin tablets for about 12 days now. However, instead of getting better, my hair loss seems to have tripled. Is it possible these medications aren't working for me, or is increased hair loss a normal part of the treatment process?

Question

I've got some trouble with acne on my nose and I'm noticing dark spots on my face, especially where I previously had acne. It's been a bit worrying as these dark spots are sticking around after the acne has cleared up. I also see the same issue with dark spots and acne on my nose. What can I do to get rid of these dark spots? Any advice would be really helpful!

Question

I've been really struggling with severe discoloration and dryness on my skin for the past five years. I'm curious about skin whitening treatments or skin polishing. Can you explain the procedures and what kind of results I might expect? Also, how much does it typically cost?
