I'm really worried about my ongoing urticaria after being diagnosed with dengue last year. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist and taking Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin, but it's impacting me mentally too. I'm planning on starting IVF soon, and I'm concerned if this condition might interfere with fertility treatments. Could you help me understand if urticaria could be a problem for IVF?

Your urticaria should not hinder your IVF treatments directly, and your current medications (Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin) are not typically known to interfere with fertility. However, its always best to consult your fertility specialist about your full medication list. The psychological aspect of dealing with chronic urticaria is valid, and managing stress will be important for both your overall well-being and fertility treatment success.

I have this really bad fungal infection on the head of my penis. I used undiluted Dettol to wash it a couple of times, and now it's burned my skin pretty badly. The skin's peeling off, and I'm noticing some rashes now. Could you please give me some advice on what to do?
Using undiluted Dettol on sensitive skin can cause severe irritation, burns, and peeling. Immediate Care 1. Stop using Dettol: Immediately discontinue using Dettol or any other harsh soap on the affected area. 2. Clean the area gently: Wash the penis head with mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel. 3. Apply a topical antibiotic cream: Over-the-counter (OTC) creams like Neosporin or Bacitracin can help prevent infection and promote healing. 4. Use a soothing cream: Apply a cream or gel containing aloe vera, hydrocortisone, or calamine to help soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. Treatment for Fungal Infection 1. Antifungal creams: OTC creams like clotrimazole (Candid-B) or miconazole (Micatin) can help treat fungal infections. 2. Oral antifungal medications: If the infection is severe or persistent, your doctor may prescribe oral antifungal medications like fluconazole (Diflucan). Managing Rashes and Peeling Skin 1. Topical corticosteroids: OTC creams or ointments containing hydrocortisone can help reduce inflammation and itching. 2. Moisturize: Apply a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer to help soothe and hydrate the skin.

Hey, I've noticed my mom has these greenish patches on the upper parts of her thighs, and I'm really worried about what they might be. Can you tell me what could be causing this and how we might be able to treat it?
Greenish patches on the skin could be a sign of a fungal infection such as tinea versicolor. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, she can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. It's also important to keep the affected area clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
