Which doctor should I consult for severe, itchy rashes that spread when scratched, and could taking Allegra 180 mg twice a day for several months be causing my hair loss and be stopped safely?

Asked by Female, 34 · 14 days ago

I highly recommend consulting a dermatologist or an allergist for your symptoms. Regarding Allegra (fexofenadine), 180 mg twice daily is a higher-than-standard dose. While hair loss is an extremely rare side effect of fexofenadine, the underlying chronic rash or bodily stress itself can trigger hair shedding. You can safely stop taking it, but stopping abruptly may cause your itchy rash to flare up. It is best to consult your doctor to safely adjust your dose and find the right relief.
