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?

I've got rashes all over my body, and while it's getting a bit better, now I've got rashes on my penis. Some skin around the meatus has come off, and I'm really worried. I've been using povidone-iodine powder, Betadine, and taking Megazolid 600 tablets, but I'm not sure if that's helping. What should I do?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
