Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• 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.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• 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 factors which can provoke it, in order to identify the right one.
• Take the medication for 15 days and revert back.
