I've been dealing with this persistent eczema on my upper lip that only seems to go away when I take Allegra for five days. But as soon as I stop, it comes right back. Is there anything else I can try that might offer a more permanent solution? I'm really worried it won't improve long-term, and I'm curious why the Allegra works but only temporarily.

You can try using a topical corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% on the affected area to reduce inflammation and itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage for Allegra and consult with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Question

I've been dealing with dark circles, wrinkles, and under-eye bags for the past two years, and I'm really concerned. My dermatologist recommended Elocon cream, but I know it's a steroid and it could have side effects. It works for a short time, but the dark patches come back quickly. Im starting to think maybe it's an allergy to dust mites. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm thinking about using glutat tablets for skin lightening, but I'm worried about possible side effects. Is it safe to use, and will it actually help with skin lightening? Can you share any experiences or information about this?
