I'm a little confused about the instructions my dermatologist gave me. They told me to apply 1ml of minoxidil once a day at night, but I thought the usual dosage was 2 ml, like once in the morning and once at night. I'm wondering if this is right or if maybe there was a mistake. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I've been noticing these random itchy swellings all over my body, like they can pop up anywhere from my head to my legs, even my lips sometimes. It got me thinking if it might have something to do with eating oily foods, because that's when it seems to happen more. I've been taking cetirizine or other antiallergics to make the swelling go away, but I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what could be causing this. Could it really be linked to my diet, or is there something else going on here?

You can take it daily to help manage and prevent these allergic reactions. Additionally, try to identify and avoid the specific oily foods that may be causing these reactions.

I'm a bit concerned about the prescription my dermatologist gave. She's put me on Aprezo 30 mg to be taken every night for 10 days, and then she wants me to up it to 12 tablets for the next 20 days. Is this medication safe to take like that? Just want to make sure it's okay for me.

Aprezo 30mg is a medication containing Apremilast, which is used to treat certain types of skin conditions such as psoriasis. The dosage regimen prescribed by your dermatologist is commonly used to gradually introduce the medication to your system and minimize potential side effects. Starting with 14 tablet daily at night for 10 days and then increasing to 12 tablet for the next 20 days is a safe and effective way to titrate the dose of Aprezo. This regimen helps your body adjust to the medication and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.
