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?

I want to remove a facial mole but every doctor says there will be a scar the same size as the mole whether it's laser or surgery I really don't want a big scar on my face what are my options here's a pic of the mole

Kindly meet a Dermatologist to assess if there are other moles elsewhere in your skin.The other thing to remember is you may reconsider removal if you have given anyone of these moles as identify proof somewhere like on a passport or driving license. You can still get it removed but then you need to carry the medical certificate stating the details of the procedure. Laser and excision are two options with their independent merit and demerits. There will be any scar but a stitch line that will faint away with time and some treatment.

I'm a bit confused about my Itaspor 200 prescription for tinea cruris. I lost the paper and have 14 tablets, but not sure if I'm supposed to take one tablet per week or follow a different schedule. Can you help?

I'm noticing these small white spots on my skin and Im a bit worried. Are these possibly symptoms of idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis? Is it something that's curable, and what treatments are available out there? I've attached a picture for you to have a look. Do you think it's IGH?

Idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (IGH) symptoms include small, round, white or hypopigmented spots, typically 2-5mm in diameter, on sun-exposed areas like forearms, shins, and face; while it's not curable, treatments like topical corticosteroids, retinoids, cryosurgery, and laser therapy can help reduce appearance; consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and guidance, as a single image isn't sufficient for a definitive diagnosis.
