Question

I've been dealing with a pretty serious skin allergy lately, and it's been driving me crazy with all the itching. Got these small red pimples popping up on my hands and all over my body. It's like never-ending itching and rashes, and it sucks. I've already tried taking Avil 50, like about six tablets, one each day, hoping it might be some kind of allergy thing, but nothing's really changed. Could you suggest something that might actually help?

Sounds like you are experiencing a severe allergic reaction. I recommend you take a combination of Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily and Hydrocortisone cream for topical application on the affected areas twice a day. Additionally, you can take Ranitidine (brand name Zantac) 150mg twice daily to help reduce the allergic response. Make sure to avoid any known triggers and keep the affected areas clean and moisturized.

I'm an 18-year-old girl and I've noticed my hair is getting really thin on the crown of my head and I'm not sure why it's happening. It's really worrying me. Could my past stress and skin allergies have something to do with it since I even had scalp allergies? Or is there another reason for this hair thinning? Looking for some advice.
