Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

• You are suffering from urticaria.

• First of all Tenovate (Clobetasol propionate) is never prescribed in acne.

• In fact, it is contraindicated in acne as it can cause intense flare-up of acne, which are usually resistant to any kind of treatment.

Please take the following medication for 10 days:

1. Tablet Teczine M (Combination of Montelukast and Levocetirizine), one tablet daily.
2. Tablet Omnacortil (Prednisolone) 20 mg, one tablet to be taken daily after breakfast.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

There are two types of urticaria. First is acute and second is chronic.

• Acute urticaria usually limited to days or month but chronic can extend to years. But mostly they are self-limiting, there is no laboratory abnormality associated with it, except in chronic where thyroid disorders are commonly associated.
• Since you are suffering from acute urticaria, prognosis is good.
• Also add tablet Bandy Plus (Albendazole), one tablet daily for three days to the above-mentioned treatment.
• Identify and avoid the factors which provoke it. In some persons even water can cause urticaria and it is known as aquagenic urticaria.
• I mean to say look for every possible factor which can provoke it, in order to identify the right one.
• Take the medication for 15 days and revert back.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
