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 getting a little concerned about some lumps I discovered on my back above my waist. They've been there for about 3 years now. I spoke to a doctor earlier, and they thought they were just fat lumps, but I'm starting to worry. Could these lumps be something more serious like cancer, or might they cause other problems for me down the line?
it not be a cancer

My mom has a corn on her leg and I'm worried about removing it. Some people say minor surgery could cause more corns to grow on her foot while others recommend using corn bandages. What's the best way to treat it without making it worse?

I'm 26 and my skin is really dry. I've noticed some wrinkles and nasolabial folds appearing, which seem quite noticeable now. I want to avoid filler injections, so I'm looking for ways to improve my skin with just medicines and external treatments like oils, creams, and moisturizers. I already switched from soap to a Nivea body wash, and from using Clean & Clear facewash to an AHA facewash. Lately, I've been using Aquastop sunscreen. I'm also trying a lemon sugar scrub for my dry skin and wrinkles and then applying a thick layer of castor oil. I've been doing this for about five days. Am I on the right track with this routine? Are there any specific creams, moisturizers, or serums that could help make my skin look more radiant and address these issues?
