Since topical steroids, antibiotics like minocycline, and even Vaseline have failed, you may be experiencing allergic contact cheilitis. This is an allergic reaction to hidden ingredients in daily products like toothpaste, cosmetics, or lip balms themselves. I highly recommend seeing a dermatologist for a patch test to identify specific allergens. Meanwhile, try avoiding all flavored or scented lip products, switch to a flavor-free toothpaste, and avoid licking your lips. A specialist can help pinpoint the exact cause to finally bring you relief.

A sudden bump after taking Levocet D (which contains levocetirizine and a decongestant) could be a mild, localized allergic reaction, such as a localized swelling. Sometimes, we also just happen to notice existing bumps, like a swollen lymph node from your week-long cold, when we pay closer attention to our bodies. I recommend stopping the medication for now. Please consult a doctor promptly to evaluate this bump and your dark-colored cough, to ensure you get the right care.

When a condition doesn't respond to multiple antihistamines (like Levocet), steroids (like Momate and Halonext S), and moisturizers, it often suggests the underlying diagnosis needs a careful re-evaluation. Prolonged use of strong steroid creams can also sometimes affect how your skin heals. I strongly recommend consulting a senior dermatologist for a fresh assessment, which may include a skin biopsy, to pinpoint the exact cause and tailor a safe, effective treatment plan specifically for you.

To keep the infection from returning, the key is keeping the groin area clean and dry. Wash daily with a mild, fragrance-free soap or a gentle syndet bar, avoiding harsh or scented products. After bathing, gently pat the area completely dry with a clean towel instead of rubbing. Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear and change it immediately if you sweat. You can continue using a plain absorbing powder, like Candid powder, to keep the area dry, but avoid tight clothing that traps moisture.

Your blocked nose and loss of smell should gradually improve over the next two to four weeks, and using steam with Vicks and Zandu balm can certainly provide comforting relief. The sudden numbness and tingling in your left hand could simply be due to a pinched nerve from resting in one position during isolation. However, since viral infections can occasionally cause nerve inflammation, please try to gently stretch and change positions frequently. If this sensation persists, worsens, or is accompanied by weakness, please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.

Allergy symptoms all over the body can be managed with anti-allergy medicines, but the right medicine depends on the cause and severity. It is better to consult a doctor who can suggest a suitable option and the correct dose. Avoid things that trigger your allergy and keep your skin well moisturised. Do not take medicines repeatedly without proper advice.
