I've been having these really itchy rashes on my skin for a while now. I saw a dermatologist and she mentioned it was a mild infection, so I took ebast 10mg for 20 days like she suggested. But the thing is, the rashes keep popping back up. It's been going on for around 4 months, and I'm starting to wonder if just taking antihistamines is the right approach. The second I stop taking ebast, the rashes come back after just 2 days. Im just not sure who I should talk to for a deeper look into what's causing this. What could be causing these rashes, and how do we figure out the right treatment?

Antihistamines are generally safe for long term consumption. If stopping the medicaitons causes your symptoms to recur, it may be best to get further evaluation done and ascertain your allergic triggers. Consult an Immunologist to get a more detailed treatment plan.

I've already used about three tubes of COSVATE GM, but now my skin in that area looks all faded with these red patches underneath. I'm worriedwill my skin eventually get back to normal, or is this a lasting issue?

Lulcan cream is advised for 2 weeks once daily for local applicaion.
