I'm really worried because he's developed a skin allergy and I've attached some pictures. He's been taking cetirizene for the past couple of days. What kind of skin condition could this possibly be? Is it safe for him to keep taking the medication for another two days until he can see a doctor?

Cetirizine Tablet Usage

Cetirizine is an antihistamine that can help alleviate symptoms of allergies. If the person has already been taking cetirizine for 2 days, they can likely continue taking it for 2 more days until consulting a doctor.

I've got these brown patches on my face, and I'm a bit worried. The doctor suggested using pine glow cream at night, but is it really safe to use? Can you help? I'm really concerned about this.

I've been using hydroquinone cream for about a year, but over the last four months, I've noticed I'm getting a lot of pimples and my skin is becoming darker. I'm really hoping to get clear, glowing skin. Any tips on how I can achieve this?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I've noticed for about a month now that the underside of my penis seems to be a bit lighter in color compared to the rest. There's also this itchiness that feels really good to scratch, but I'm not sure if that's a bad sign or not. Any idea what might be going on and what I should do about it?

That could be fungal infcetion,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatmen,personal hygiene is more important for a better result.
