Question 1

Accepted Answer

: Yes. But not on the face. Medication is too strong for skin.

Question 2

my baby has face eczema. i used desonide for a week but it is back. is aclovate safer or better?

Accepted Answer

Chronic: Eczema is chronic and will recur.  I recommend avoiding harsh soaps which will dry the skin, use aquaphor or vanicream to protect your baby's skin throughout the day and desonide to keep it controlled, preferably no more than 3 times a week.  It gets better over time!  also, eczema makes skin more susceptible to infections so if it persists, see your dr.

Question 3

Aclovate: Aclovate is a type of steroid and works to relieve itching and inflammation by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system.

Question 5

what do you suggest if my eyebrow come completely out. the dermatologist gave me nizoral (ketoconazole) and aclovate cream but it's not helping at all. any ideas?

Use Latisse (bimatoprost): If you mean that you are loosing your eyebrow hair, you have to find out what is causing it. There are many systemic causes. one of these issues are thyroid dz. So you need to have a complete physical and lab work. But if all is OK, then you may use Latisse (bimatoprost) over the eyebrow and that has shown to help eyebrow hair loss.

Question 6

Many: There are various antihistamines that are good for seasonal allergies many of which are over the counter such as Claritin Allegra or zyrtec. If those do not help there are prescription antihistamines and nasal sprays which can help.

Question 7

is there an otc medicine i can take for winter allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I presume you must be referring to dry, itchy skin that occurs in winter also called the winter itch. It is not an allergy but caused by drying of the skin due to evaporation of skin oils. This is due to the low humidity and use of dry indoor heat. The treatment is regular application of a good skin moisturizer daily after bath and also using a humidifier to reduce dryness.

Question 8

could allergy to a specific drug ingredient develop over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Drug allergy is a complex issue, so many drugs r in the market with many active / inactive ingredients, fortunately enough only few people develop drug allergy, if at all in doubt stop the medicine review it with ur doctor to replace it, if it is an absolute necessity to take the drug in question consult an allergist.

Question 9

best otc medicine for dog allergy?

Accepted Answer

Cetirizine: The most effective second generation, minimally sedating antihistamine is Cetirizine (adult dose 10 mg at bedtime). No antihistamine will allow ad lib dog contact so minimize contact, keep dog out of bedroom, use hepa filter in bedroom. If still symptoms have to consider rehousing  dog in another home.

Question 10

will allergy medicine help with a cold?

Accepted Answer

Not much: Allergy medications such as Claritin, Allegra and Zyrtec work by blocking antihistamine which is not part of the cold/respiratory infection process so not much help.  Older antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may help some with irritant cough and sleep from drowsy side effect.  Decongestants such as Sudafed may help relieve some of the nasal congestion but avoid in children
