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.

Could you help me out with something? I'm 9 months pregnant and was wondering if it's safe to use Melacare cream for fairness. I used it a couple of years ago and it worked wonders on my complexion. I'm really hoping to get that glow back, especially with the changes during pregnancy and soon-to-be lactation. Is it safe to start using it again now?

Yes, continue all the medications.
