The reason it keeps spreading may be due to the steroid components in creams like Panderm+ and Zole F, which can temporarily ease itching but actually make fungal infections stronger and harder to cure. Please stop using these steroid creams and home remedies like apple cider vinegar immediately. To successfully clear this, you need a targeted, prescription-strength oral antifungal medication (such as itraconazole or terbinafine) and a proper topical cream, chosen specifically for your infection. I highly recommend consulting a dermatologist to get a personalized treatment plan. You will get through this!

What is a permanent treatment for hives on my face triggered by cold temperatures, which started after an allergic reaction to aspirin and did not go away after taking Allegra for 15 days?

What you are experiencing sounds like cold urticaria, which can sometimes be triggered after an allergic reaction like your aspirin event. While there is no instant 'permanent' cure, these hives often resolve on their own over time. Since fexofenadine (Allegra) has not worked, the next best step is seeing an allergist. They can safely adjust your antihistamine dosage or discuss prescription options to block these reactions. In the meantime, try to keep your face warm and protected from cold winds.

What should I do if my itchy and burning bottom has not improved after two months of treating a fungal infection with Tenovate-M, Smuth cream, and Allegra; should I see a different medical specialist, continue with my current treatment, or try a new medication?

Since your symptoms have not improved after two months, I highly recommend consulting a dermatologist rather than continuing the same routine. Prolonged use of Tenovate-M, which contains a strong steroid, can actually irritate and thin the delicate skin in that area, worsening your symptoms. Your itching could be due to a resistant infection, skin allergy, or another issue entirely. Please stop the topical creams and let a specialist properly examine the area to give you a safe, targeted treatment plan. You may continue fexofenadine (Allegra) to help manage the itching in the meantime.

What could be causing my 75-year-old mother to experience severe nighttime itching on her hands, legs, and scalp, and is it safe for her to take Allegra daily when washing with Cetaphil soap only provides temporary relief?

In older adults, itching on the hands, legs, and scalp is very common and often triggered by severe dry skin, though it can sometimes relate to nerve sensitivity or underlying medical conditions. While Cetaphil is a wonderfully gentle choice, daily fexofenadine (Allegra) should be approved by her doctor first. Fexofenadine is generally safer for seniors than older antihistamines, but we must ensure it is safe for her kidneys and won't interact with any other medications. I highly recommend having her evaluated by her physician or a dermatologist to help her find lasting comfort.

Why does the itching in my sweaty hip and buttock areas keep coming back as soon as I stop taking itraconazole and Allegra, and what can I do to treat this long-term?

Itraconazole treats fungal infections, which thrive in warm, moist areas like the hips and buttocks, while Allegra (fexofenadine) helps soothe the itch. If the fungus is not fully eliminated, the symptoms quickly return once you stop the medication. For long-term relief, it is essential to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton underwear, and consider using an antifungal drying powder. Please consult your doctor to discuss a longer, guided treatment plan or a prescription topical cream to fully clear the infection.

I have had a mouth sore inside my cheek for five days, and it is causing pain, difficulty swallowing, and mild pain in my left ear when I swallow; are Dologel CT, paracetamol 650mg, and Allegra 120 the right treatments to use, and are there other medications or home remedies I should try?

Dologel CT (a local anesthetic gel) and paracetamol are excellent choices to help ease your cheek and ear pain, especially before meals. Allegra (fexofenadine) is an antihistamine and won't directly heal the sore, but it is safe to take. For quick recovery, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water a few times a day and stick to soft, non-spicy foods. Because you are experiencing difficulty swallowing and ear pain, please see a doctor if there is no improvement in a few day.

What medicine should I take for a cold and sore throat, and are Allegra or Cheston Cold safe and effective options to treat these symptoms?

For a cold and sore throat, Cheston Cold is generally more effective than Allegra because it contains a pain reliever (paracetamol) for your throat and a decongestant, whereas Allegra (fexofenadine) is mainly for allergies. Cheston Cold is typically safe for a 30-year-old, but avoid it if you have high blood pressure. Please ensure you rest, drink plenty of warm fluids, and try warm salt water gargles to soothe your throat. If your symptoms worsen or persist for more than a few days, please consult a local doctor.
