I've been noticing these random itchy swellings all over my body, like they can pop up anywhere from my head to my legs, even my lips sometimes. It got me thinking if it might have something to do with eating oily foods, because that's when it seems to happen more. I've been taking cetirizine or other antiallergics to make the swelling go away, but I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what could be causing this. Could it really be linked to my diet, or is there something else going on here?

You can take it daily to help manage and prevent these allergic reactions. Additionally, try to identify and avoid the specific oily foods that may be causing these reactions.

Among the options you have mentioned, Kojivit gel is a good choice for fairness. It contains Kojic acid which helps in skin lightening and reducing dark spots. You can apply a thin layer of Kojivit gel on the affected areas twice daily for best results.
