I've been having this horrible itching that started in my hands, feet, and vaginal area about a week ago. I took levocetirizine for four days, and though it seemed to help a bit, the itching came back around day three. Now its spread to my upper back and chest. It's really uncomfortable and bothering me a lot. Could you please guide me on what might be happening and what I can do to relieve this itching?

Since you have already taken levocetirizine without much relief, I recommend trying a different antihistamine such as Fexofenadine (Allegra) or Hydroxyzine (Avil). Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion containing Calamine to the itchy areas for relief. If the itching persists, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about my 7-year-old son who's just started getting these sudden brown spots on his skin. The first one showed up behind his neck, then another near his collarbone, and now there's one on his ribs. There's no itching or pain, and theyre just plain brown, no other colors like blue or anything. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm worried about whether mast*rbation could lead to pimples on my face. And how much time should I leave between each time I do it?

Masturbation itself doesn't directly cause pimples, but hormonal changes and lifestyle factors can contribute to acne. There's no need to worry about a specific "gap" between masturbation sessions unless you feel it's affecting your well-being. Focus on a healthy lifestyle, including a proper skincare routine and stress management, to reduce the risk of acne
