Question 1

I'm only getting hives on my hands and feet. They start as small red dots and then spread out into a circle. It's super itchy, and even though I take antihistamines like cetrizine, they only give me temporary relief. Omnacortil works to clear them up, but I can't use it every day because of its side effects. What can I do about this?

Accepted Answer

To manage recurring hives on hands and feet, consider consulting a dermatologist or allergist to identify underlying causes, and explore alternative treatments like immunotherapy, sublingual immunotherapy, or medications like montelukast or cyclosporine, while also maintaining a symptom journal and avoiding potential triggers.

Question 3

I've been dealing with jock itch since July this year, so it's been over two months. I admit I didnt take it seriously at first, but I started applying betadine frequentlylike every few hoursover the past week except when I'm sleeping. The rash has spread to almost my entire groin area, and I'm not sure if its actually improving. I havent had the chance to see a doctor yet, but I'm curious if this kind of jock itch can still be treated effectively with betadine. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Applying betadine may help with disinfection, but for the treatment of jock itch, it is important to use antifungal medication. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothes, and avoid sharing towels or clothing to prevent spreading the infection.

continue same medication until symptoms fully resolved
