I'm really worried about some medication I'm on. I'm taking Atarax at night and Allegra 180 in the mornings, and I've been on them for about 30 days now. I've also taken Atarax 25 twice a day for 40 days, Allegra 180 and levocetirizine for 15 days, Atarax 25 again but once a day for 10 days, Prutrax 50mg for 10 days, and Polaramine 5mg for 10 days. I've started noticing more urticaria appearing, and I'm concerned it might be because of this medication schedule. Can this mix of medications increase the risk of hives if taken for longer periods? Would love some advice on what to do next.

Taking Atarax at night and Allegra 180 in the morning for a longer period of 30 days can potentially lead to hives due to the combination of antihistamines. The prolonged use of these medications can sometimes paradoxically lead to worsening of symptoms such as urticaria. It is important to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management of your condition.

I'm really worried about my mom because she's got these dark blue vein patches showing up on her thighs, and shes complaining of a bit of pain there. Could this be something serious? What could it possibly be?
The dark blue blood veins patches on your mother's thighs, accompanied by mild pain, could be indicative of varicose veins or spider veins, which are common conditions characterized by enlarged, twisted veins. These veins can become visible due to weakened valves, allowing blood to pool and cause discoloration. Other possible causes include hormonal changes, pregnancy, obesity, and age-related factors. It's essential to consult a general surgeon

I'm a 21-year-old guy and this morning, I noticed two mustard-yellow spots that are about 4x5 cm. There's no swelling or pain, but I feel a bit of numbness when I press on them. I've never experienced anything like this before and I don't have a history of liver issues. Plus, I haven't bumped or injured myself recently. Do you have any idea what it could be?
