I've been struggling with Hives for about two years now, and the itching and skin inflammation are just unbearable sometimes. My doctor suggested I take Montek LC, and I usually take a tablet every couple of days when things get really bad. Is there any way to completely get rid of this condition? I'm hoping for a more permanent solution. Can you share any advice or treatments that might help?

Yes you can have it no problem

I've been dealing with this fungal dandruff and have been using AF 150mg along with keto B lotion for a few weeks now. It seems like the dandruff's slightly better, but Im really wondering how much longer I should keep taking this medication? Do you think theres a specific time frame for this kind of treatment, or should I just continue until it's fully gone? I don't want to stop too soon and make things worse.

That takes time and needs special care continue the same medication as your doctor adviced and maintain personal hygiene for a better result.

I'm noticing these round-shaped rashes popping up in different spots on my skin. They kinda look like a fungal infection. Sometimes they itch a little, but they aren't super red. I've been using Micozel on them. What else should I be doing or looking out for?

If it is indeed a fungal infection, antifungal creams like Micozel should help clear it up over time. However, if you don't see improvement within a couple of weeks, or if you suspect the issue could be something else, its a good idea to visit a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
