I've been dealing with urticaria and I'm currently taking Betacap 40mg, Primox 25mg, and Tyroxine 50mg for it. I'm a bit worried and wondering whether I should keep taking these medications or if they might be causing the issues. Could these meds be related to my urticaria?

View allI've been dealing with this rash on both sides of my neck ever since summer started, and now there's a similar rash showing up in the crease of my right knee. They're kind of these small patches that have a bit of a white appearance. I've tried using hydrocortisone cream on the ones on my neck, but they haven't gone away. They don't really itch, but they look darker now and the texture feels different. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm really struggling with a shiny look on my skin and I'd love to find a way to get rid of it for good without having to deal with any side effects. Do you know of any medications or treatments that might help with this?
To reduce skin shine permanently, consider a combination of lifestyle changes, skincare routines, and medical treatments. Here's a comprehensive approach: Lifestyle Changes 1. Maintain a healthy diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid processed and oily foods. 2. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to flush out toxins and keep your skin healthy. 3. Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress and improve overall skin health. 4. Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night to help regulate hormones and reduce stress. Skincare Routine 1. Cleanse your skin: Wash your face twice a day with a gentle, oil-free cleanser. 2. Exfoliate regularly: Exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. 3. Use a toner: Apply a toner to help balance your skin's pH and reduce oil production. 4. Apply a moisturizer: Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without clogging pores.

I've been dealing with these wounds that are filled with pus, and they're just not healing even after using Cipladine ointment. Can you suggest some other medicine that might work? I'm getting worried it's not improving.
