Kindly suggest me a therapy to overcome heat allergy.

Hello doctor,

From one and a half year, I am suffering from heat allergy. Whenever I am exposed to the sun or when my body temperature rises, I get red hives on my body, especially on hands and chest. It usually lasts for 10 to 15 minutes and disappears. This happens when I am stressed, angry or during some discussion, etc. I have consulted a dermatologist and had taken steroid injection for the problem. I was advised to take Teczine 5 mg, which I am taking on alternate days. The medicine gives me a bit of relaxation. I do not get sweat and I am mentally depressed. Please help me.

I have some kind of allergy in my inner thigh. What is that?

Hi doctor,

I am experiencing an allergic reaction in the inner thigh area near my anus. This has resulted in dry skin. It started as a small dot but has now spread on both sides of my anus and thighs. The itching is severe. Initially, I used a cream containing combination of Betamethasone, Gentamicin, Tolnaftate and Clioquinol, but now I am only using coconut oil. The affected area, as well as the surrounding skin, is becoming darker in color. Kindly help me.

I am suffering from dry and scaly scalp. Is that scalp psoriasis?

Hello doctor,

I am suffering from dry, scaly patches on the scalp for the last six to eight months. Since childhood, I have severe dandruff, mild itching and hair fall. I consulted two doctors. First one said that it may by scalp psoriasis and the other told that it looks like some fungal infection. I am using Salisia KT shampoo. I do not have scales on any other parts of my body. I am worried by thinking it may be scalp psoriasis. I can easily remove the scales present on the hairline. Please suggest. Thank you in advance
