I've been dealing with this persistent skin allergy that causes swelling all over my body. My doctor mentioned it might be due to seafood, but the allergy hasn't stopped. I've been on Allegra 120mg for the last four months, but the moment I miss even a single dose, the allergy flares up again. I'm worried about the long-term side effects of taking this medication. Is there any advice or a different solution you can suggest?

It seems like you are experiencing a persistent allergic reaction despite taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 120mg daily. In such cases, you may benefit from a different class of antihistamines such as Cetirizine (Zyrtec) 10mg once daily or Loratadine (Claritin) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can consider adding a mast cell stabilizer like Cromolyn sodium (Nasalcrom) to prevent the release of histamine in your body. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

View allI'm taking R89 but my hair is still falling out. What should I do now? I'm really worried about this. Can you help me?
You can try adding minoxidil solution to your hair care routine. You can apply minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth and reduce hair fall. Additionally, make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals essential for hair health, and avoid excessive heat styling or harsh chemical treatments on your hair.

I've got this lump that started out small and wasn't really painful, but I tried using hot fermentation on it. Now, after a month, its turned red, and it's quite painful and much bigger. The skin is hard, and it's making it difficult for me to walk. Hot water seems to help with the pain a bit, but it makes the skin even redder. Can you suggest what kind of doctor I should see about this?

I'm a bit worried about this small lump I've noticed under my skin that I think might be a lipoma. It doesn't hurt or feel uncomfortable, but I'm wondering if there are natural ways to get rid of it? I've read different things online, and it's all a bit overwhelming. Could you help me understand how to deal with it naturally?
While there are no proven natural cures for lipomas, some people suggest remedies like apple cider vinegar, turmeric, or flaxseed oil for their anti-inflammatory properties. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before trying any home treatments.
