I'm taking a 5mg levocet tablet for a skin reaction on my face and have been on it for 6 days now. Since I don't have any more itching or redness, I'm wondering if I should stop the medicine or keep going. My doctor originally suggested I take it for 10 days. What do you think I should do?

You can stop taking Levocet 5mg tablet since you no longer have itching or redness on your face. It is advisable to complete the course as prescribed by your doctor, which in your case is 10 days. Since you have already taken it for 6 days and your symptoms have resolved, you can safely discontinue the medication.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection for a month, so I went to see a skin doctor who gave me Eberconazole tablets and cream, but also Cetrizine HCl tablets. Interestingly, I've also been having a runny nose and sneezing for the past 23 days, which I didn't mention to the doctor, but they somehow ended up addressing it. I'm curious if there's a connection between sneezing, a runny nose, and fungal infections. When I skip the Cetrizine, my sneezing and runny nose come back. I've tried searching online but can't find anything. Is there really a link between these symptoms and fungal infections?

Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon or an endocrinologist for personalized advice and guidance. They will assess your condition and recommend the best course of treatment.

I've been dealing with a fixed drug eruption for the past four years and have been seeing a skin specialist for treatment. Initially, I was given various lotions, but I really didn't see any improvement. I got so frustrated that I started looking up remedies online, and that's when I found out about laser treatment. I tried that route, and it's been about 10 months since I had it done. Unfortunately, my issue hasn't improved completely, and now my dark brown mark has just turned into a white one with tiny dark spots. Could you advise me on what steps I should consider next?
