I'm dealing with hives or urticaria every other day and Ive been taking Cetcip 10mg whenever I get these rashes. I'm wondering if it's okay to keep using this tablet. Is there a better way to completely cure these hives or urticaria, and what kind of medication should I really be looking at, and for how long?

Cetirizine is a commonly used antihistamine for treating hivesUrticaria. It is safe to take this tablet for relief from symptoms. However, for a more effective and long-term solution, you can consider taking a different class of antihistamines such as Allegra (Fexofenadine). Additionally, if the hivesUrticaria are severe or persistent, your doctor may prescribe a short course of corticosteroids like Prednisone for a few days to help control the inflammation. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with any medication.

View allI've been on Diane 35 for about six months, but I stopped three months ago. Now my acne is starting to come back. What can I do about this?
Diane 35 is a hormonal contraceptive that's often prescribed to treat acne, especially in women. However, it's not uncommon for acne to return after stopping the medication. Why Acne Returns After Stopping Diane 35 1. Hormonal Fluctuations: Diane 35 regulates hormonal imbalances, which can help control acne. When you stop taking the medication, hormonal fluctuations can lead to acne recurrence. 2. Underlying Skin Issues: Diane 35 may have been masking underlying skin issues, such as clogged pores, bacterial growth, or inflammation. When you stop taking the medication, these underlying issues can resurface, leading to acne.3. Consider Alternative Acne Treatments: Your dermatologist may recommend alternative acne treatments, such as: - Topical retinoids - Benzoyl peroxide - Salicylic acid - Hormonal treatments (if hormonal imbalances are suspected)
