View allI'm really worried about some medication I'm on. I'm taking Atarax at night and Allegra 180 in the mornings, and I've been on them for about 30 days now. I've also taken Atarax 25 twice a day for 40 days, Allegra 180 and levocetirizine for 15 days, Atarax 25 again but once a day for 10 days, Prutrax 50mg for 10 days, and Polaramine 5mg for 10 days. I've started noticing more urticaria appearing, and I'm concerned it might be because of this medication schedule. Can this mix of medications increase the risk of hives if taken for longer periods? Would love some advice on what to do next.
Taking Atarax at night and Allegra 180 in the morning for a longer period of 30 days can potentially lead to hives due to the combination of antihistamines. The prolonged use of these medications can sometimes paradoxically lead to worsening of symptoms such as urticaria. It is important to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management of your condition.

I'm currently breastfeeding and I've been dealing with some nasty urticaria. I heard Allegra 180 might help with the rashes and swelling, but is it actually safe for me to take? I'm really worried about any potential effects on my baby. What should I do?
Yes you can take no problem.

I've developed this dark and rough skin on the sides of my nose, and while it doesn't itch much, it's been bothering me for about 3-4 months now. I scratched it once out of irritation, and that only made it worse. Though it's reduced a bit since then, I'm still not seeing much improvement. I tried using lemon juice, but it burned, so I've switched to aloe gel, but it doesn't seem to be helping either. Any idea what might be causing this and what I could do to make it better?
Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized guidance, and in the meantime, try using a gentle exfoliating scrub, a topical cream containing niacinamide or kojic acid, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen to help improve the dark, rough skin on the sides of your nose.
