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 noticed my skin is getting darker, and I've got these patches with hard, dry areas. I was told it might be macular amyloidosis, so a doctor prescribed glutathione pills and some creams, but I didn't see any improvement and stopped. I'm really worried because I'm not sure if there's a permanent solution to this. Is there a more effective treatment out there?

Macular amyloidosis is a chronic skin condition that may not respond well to topical creams alone. However, there are other treatment options available. One option is to use topical corticosteroids to help reduce inflammation and itching. Another option is phototherapy, which involves exposing the affected skin to ultraviolet light. In some cases, oral medications such as antihistamines or immunosuppressants may be prescribed. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.

Is it okay to get a dermaroller treatment in the second week of May after taking isotroin 20 mg for just three days at the end of April (28th to 30th)? I've heard you shouldn't get treatments right after accutane, but isn't that advice mostly for those who complete a full course? Would those 60 mg in total affect skin healing?

no problem you can get it done

I've been told to use Antoxid HC for my dark circles, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, do you think products like Faceguard and Radiant I creams are effective for treating dark circles too? I want to double-check on my prescribed meds and what's best to use.
