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.

View allI'm dealing with Nevus of Ota on my right eye and was being treated at AIIMS Delhi, where I saw a lot of improvement. Unfortunately, I had to stop the treatment because I moved to Bangalore. Could you help me find a good, experienced doctor here in Bangalore for this condition? I'm really looking for someone who can pick up where my treatment left off. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with this condition, HS, for over two years now. We thought surgery might help; she had it done three months ago on her armpits and groin area. But sadly, the problem's come back, and she's still in a lot of pain. I understand it's a chronic condition, but it's really affecting her quality of life, and even simple daily tasks are a struggle. I'm desperate to find a doctor who's experienced with these cases and can help with her recovery and pain management. Do you know anyone who specializes in this?
