Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello doctor. I m having problems w/ this irritating face break out in hives and all my body. Some times my skin gets little red dots. My eyes, scalp, my veins, and had alot of hair loss. I m on a lot of medications I have am type two diabetic, hypertension, low thyroid, high chol, high triglysterites, an asprin a day and sevreral vitamins. I have tried to locate the problem in which medication it could be. I tried to schedule an appt w/ an allergy dr but they are charging me an obsene amount of money. I am so frustraited.
You have history of diabetes, hypertension and thyroid and have been taking various medicines. Certain medications interact & may cause side effects. Some antibiotics like penicillin, sulfa may cause hypersensitivity reactions. Ibuprofen and aspirin may cause skin reactions due to allergy.
Since you are on prescription medicine, inform your treating doctor about the reactions so that the medicines can be replaced by another that suits you better. In the meantime, take non sedating antihistamines for relieve. Taking a course of prednisone may be of help. Take medicines under your local health care professional. To prevent hair loss use selsun shampoo and apply aloe vera based cream or calamine lotion for relieve.
Avoid food that causes allergy like shrimps, eggs, nuts, peanuts, shellfish, etc. Stay away from pet dander, pollen, smoke, pollutants, irritants, etc. Stay in optimum temperature that best suits you. Avoid direct exposure to sun and maintain your hygiene. Wear soft cotton clothes, avoid sex for a couple of days and do not share your toiletries.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
