I'm dealing with tinea cruris and I've been using Fixtral and Lulifin. After a few days, I've noticed my skin turning white and starting to peel off. Is this a normal reaction? Should I be concerned?

Moisturize: Use a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer to keep the affected skin hydrated and reduce the peeling. Observe the Area: If the peeling is mild and the area seems to be improving, it may just be part of the healing process. However, if you notice increased redness, blisters, or severe irritation, you may need to stop the treatment and see a healthcare professional. Follow-up: Its a good idea to check back with your doctor if the peeling is persistent or bothersome, or if the condition doesnt seem to be improving after a week or two.

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.
