I'm really worried because I donated blood on Monday morning, and the next day I woke up with terrible itching and red spots and bumps, mostly on my thighs but some in other areas too. I took an Avil tablet in the morning, and it helped a bit, but by night, the itchiness came back. It's unbearable. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and how I can make it stop?

The itching and rash you're experiencing after donating blood could be an allergic reaction to the anticoagulant or other substances used in the blood collection process; continue taking Avil (antihistamine) as directed, apply topical calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to affected areas

I'm trying to understand the benefits of using ZYDIP Lotion and TACRIVA ointment together. How effective is this combination and how long does it usually take to see results?
The combination of ZYDIP Lotion and TACRIVA ointment is commonly used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. ZYDIP Lotion contains Clobetasol propionate which is a strong corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and itching. TACRIVA ointment contains Tacrolimus which is an immunosuppressant that helps to reduce inflammation and relieve itching as well. The duration of treatment with this mixture can vary depending on the severity of the skin condition being treated. Typically, it is recommended to use this mixture for a few weeks to see improvement in symptoms. However, it is important to follow the dosage and duration of treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider to avoid any potential side effects.
