I've been dealing with itching on both my hands and legs for the past three days, and I'm worried because there's been no improvement despite taking Allegra 180 mg and Defcort 6 mg. I had typhoid about ten days ago. Could this itching be related to that, or is it something else? I'm not sure if I should change my medication or if there's something else I should try. Any ideas on what's going on?

I've been dealing with acne since I was 15, and it's gotten worse now that I'm 20. I tried some Ayurvedic treatments, but they didn't really help. A dermatologist recommended clarithromycin and tretinoin cream, which showed minimal improvement for a bit, but now my acne's back and even worse. Is there any real, lasting solution out there?
