I'm a 29-year-old guy, and my doctor gave me Alaspan tablets for my dry and itchy skin because it's apparently some allergy issue. I noticed that Algo tablets have the same stuff in them but they're cheaper. Do you think it's okay for me to switch to Algo? Also, are there any other cheaper options you could recommend besides Alaspan?

If algo is working for you, you can use it as both are same .

View allI've noticed that my fingernails used to have lunula, but now it seems like only my thumbs still have them, and even those are shrinking. I've heard that lunula is a sign of good health. What can I do to get them back? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my health.

I'm 27 and from Tamilnadu. A while back, I accidentally had kerosene poured on me, and since then, my face has been getting darker day by day. I'm really worried about how to get back to my previous skin tone. What can I do to improve my skin?
Accidentally spilling kerosene on your face can cause skin damage and discoloration. To help restore your skin tone, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been dealing with this urticaria since last October, and I've been taking citrazin every day, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm thinking of trying livcon capsules and assicon syrup now. Do you think these might work for my urticaria?
For urticaria, it is important to identify the underlying cause and treat it accordingly. Instead of Livcon capsule and Assicon syrup, I would recommend you to try Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily in the morning along with Ranitidine 150mg twice daily. These medications are more effective in controlling urticaria symptoms compared to Livcon and Assicon. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.
