I've been dealing with this itchy red rash that keeps appearing and disappearing, and I sometimes feel a pricking sensation in different parts of my body, especially on my back. On top of that, my tonsils seem to hurt a bit too. Could this be something serious, or is there anything I should be doing to help it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a condition called Urticaria, also known as hives. Hives are red, itchy welts or swellings on the skin that often come and go. The pricking sensation you are feeling in your body parts, especially in the back, could be due to the hives. The slight pain in your tonsils may be related to inflammation or infection. To help relieve your symptoms, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine to the affected areas to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really struggling with lichen planus on my legs for the past 5 years and it's been a tough journey. I've tried homeocare for over 4 years, but it hasn't helped much and I'm getting really frustrated. Can you suggest any better treatments available in Hyderabad? I'm looking for something that could actually make a difference.

I'm a bit concerned because I was prescribed the fas 3 kit for a suspected fungal infection and followed the instructions, but after feeling better on day 2, the discomfort and burning sensation came back on day 3. The doctor said to check back after a week if things didn't improve, but I'm not sure if I should wait that long. Should I go for another consultation now, or give it a week like the doctor suggested?
It's normal to experience some fluctuation in symptoms during treatment. Since youre still feeling discomfort and burning, it's a good idea to consult your doctor sooner rather than waiting a week, especially if the symptoms arent improving. They may adjust your treatment plan for better relief.
