Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am suffering from itching on my face for the last two years. I took Levocetirizine, Fluconazole, and some ointment. My doctor also advised me to use soft soap. But, my problem continues. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query in detail and do understand your concern. I also viewed the attached pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

  1. Does the itching happen more during the day or night?
  2. Any seasonal variation in itching such as more during summer or winter?
  3. Is there any increase in itching after going in the sun?
  4. Do you have any dryness or pimple-like spots on the face or white patches on face?
  5. Is there any other body area involved like arms, hands or feet?
  6. Do you have any allergies like repeated sneezing, watering eyes, dust allergy, etc?

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

It is itching all the time and most of the time I am living in the basement. No other body part infected by this and mild black spot on both cheeks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

My suggestion is a Montelukast tablet like tablet Lestar-M (combination of Montelukast and Levocetirizine) twice daily for two weeks. Also apply sunscreen regularly. You may apply Face Guard gel over the whole face at 8 AM and 12 PM. Avoid going out in direct sunlight. Use Cetaphil cleansing lotion for face wash. For black spots, use Ban A Tan cream or Kojiglo cream (Kojic acid) twice daily. Also, use Physiogel lotion as a moisturizer on your face. No need of Fluconazole. You may revert back after three weeks.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
