Brief Answer:
Read below.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I must say I am a little taken aback by these issues having not much to do with one another. It would be better in the future if you separate your questions so that doctors who are best in one field can deal with problems belonging to that field and better focus on it.
Anyway, regarding the first question on the most powerful treatment for acne, the most powerful would be Accutane (isotretinoin). Beware though that it may have its side effects as well such as dry skin and lips, hair loss, allergic reactions etc.
As for Alzheimer's there is no certain way to know you have Alzheimer. You doubt dementia when there is deterioration in several cognitive fields like memory, language, judgement. If there is such a doubt neuropsychological tests, sort of questionnaires evaluating cognitive functions are done. If those confirm a drop in cognitive function tests for the cause are needed, such as brain imaging and some blood tests. That is because Alzheimer is only one subtype of dementia, the most common, but there are other causes such as tumor, stroke, low thyroid function, vitamin B12 deficiency etc. There are no over the counter drugs for Alzheimer's only prescription ones.
As for causes of urticaria, when it comes to foods it usually is peanuts, fish, shellfish, fruits, otherwise it can be environmental such as pollen, dust mites, mold etc.
I hope to have been of help.
