I'm really worried about my hives and heard that some medicines can break down histamine to help prevent them from happening. I took a good one last year but just cant recall its name. Could you tell me what the best antihistamines are? I've noticed that Avil isnt available anymore.

I recently had a mole removed using a blade, and they stopped the bleeding with heat. Now I've noticed there's a small crater where the mole was. I'm keeping it clean with soap and water, applying the ointment my doctor recommended, and covering it with a bandage. I'm just a bit worried thoughwill this crater eventually fill in as everything heals?

Yes that will heal no problem,follow your doctors advice
