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.

I've been using Panderm Plus for two years and then stopped. Since then, I've noticed side effects like hair growth. Now I'm using Keto 4S. Should I be worried about any dangers or side effects from this?

I'm trying to figure out the best time to use Venusia cream as a moisturizer. Is it okay to apply it during the daytime, especially if I'm going to be out in the sun? I'm a bit worried about whether it might cause my skin to tan. Could you give me some advice on this?

yes you can apply and go out
