I'm only getting hives on my hands and feet. They start as small red dots and then spread out into a circle. It's super itchy, and even though I take antihistamines like cetrizine, they only give me temporary relief. Omnacortil works to clear them up, but I can't use it every day because of its side effects. What can I do about this?

To manage recurring hives on hands and feet, consider consulting a dermatologist or allergist to identify underlying causes, and explore alternative treatments like immunotherapy, sublingual immunotherapy, or medications like montelukast or cyclosporine, while also maintaining a symptom journal and avoiding potential triggers.

So I've been using Ionax T shampoo a couple of times a week, but my scalp psoriasis just won't seem to clear up. I always make sure to really scrub my scalp when I wash my hair. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or should I be using the shampoo differently?

I'm a 26-year-old guy and I've recently purchased a laser hair removal package. I'm wondering if it's safe to have this done in the pubic area and on the penis. Is there anything specific I should know or be concerned about?

I've been dealing with an itch in my groin area for the past week, and it's just not getting better. I've tried using Soframycin and Dermi5, but they don't seem to be helping. In fact, the skin's turned red and it looks like it's starting to peel a bit. What could be going on here, and is there something else I should try to get some relief?
