I've been dealing with hives and took longifene for a week, which seemed to help initially. But now my cheeks are red, and after seeing a doctor, it's just gotten worse with itching all over my face, small pimples, and even more redness. What's going on, and what should I do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or a skin condition. To help with the itching, redness, and small pimples on your face, you can try taking cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply hydrocortisone cream 1% topically on the affected areas twice a day. Make sure to avoid any triggers that may worsen your symptoms, such as certain foods or skincare products. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
