I've been dealing with hives for the last three months, and it's been pretty frustrating. My dermatologist put me on Allegra and Elina Tablet for a month. But as soon as I stopped the meds, the hives came back. I was told to continue Elina for another 40 days, but they returned the day after I finished the course. Is there really no long-term solution for hives? I'm getting really tired of this cycle.

I've been having some issues after using Onabet cream on my private area. My skin feels really dry and hard now. I've tried using Boro cream to add some moisture, but I'm really worried about how uncomfortable it still is. Could you please give me some advice on what to do next?

Lulican cream for local application for atleast 2 weeks is advised to the patient.

I've been taking Finasteride 1mg every day, but I'm still dealing with dandruff even though I'm using Scalpe Plus Shampoo. Could this be related to the change in seasons or is something else going on? I'm worried because it feels like I'm losing about 20 to 25 hairs daily. Can you help me understand what's happening?
