Have it evaluated.: There are many things that may cause a discoloration of the skin. Cause may be genetic or environmental. Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, sun exposure, insect bites, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause a discoloration of the skin. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

I recently had an allergic reaction to a new detergent, resulting in a rash on my back, chest, and arms. Cortisone cream seemed to work, but I still have a small lingering rash. I was wondering if pepcid with loratadine or zyrtec/allegra would work?
