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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm concerned about using aziderm cream for the black spots on my face. After applying it, I felt a burning sensation after just a few minutes. Is this a normal reaction, or could there be a problem with the cream? I'm really looking to find a safe way to get rid of these spots. What do you suggest?
The burning sensation you are experiencing after applying aziderm cream is a common side effect, especially if you have sensitive skin. It may be due to the active ingredient in the cream, which is azelaic acid. If the burning sensation is severe or persistent, you should discontinue the use of the cream and consult your doctor. To remove black spots on your face, you can consider using a different cream containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids. Some options include Melalite cream, Kojivit gel, or Retin-A cream. These creams can help lighten the dark spots and improve the overall appearance of your skin.

I'm not overweight and I do exercises regularly, but I've got Acanthosis nigricans on my neck and some other parts of my body. It's really frustrating and I'm starting to feel a bit depressed about it. I feel like I'm perfectly fit, so I'm just confused why I'm dealing with this. Is there any way to get my normal skin back?
Acanthosis nigricans can sometimes occur in individuals who are not overweight and lead an active lifestyle. To help improve the appearance of Acanthosis nigricans, you can try using a topical cream containing 20% urea or 12% ammonium lactate. These creams can help exfoliate the affected areas and improve the skin texture. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and keeping your skin well moisturized can also help in reducing the appearance of Acanthosis nigricans.
