I am experiencing severe, recurrent itching accompanied by red, circular lesions (rashes/hives) on my palms and ankles. A doctor previously diagnosed this as an allergic reaction and prescribed Laveta M tablets. I have been taking this medication for 3 months. While it provides temporary relief, the severe itching and redness return immediately if I miss even a single dose. Could you please advise on further diagnostic steps or a permanent treatment plan, as I do not want to rely on this medication indefinitely?
Your symptoms suggest Chronic Urticaria or a severe localized allergy. Laveta M only suppresses the symptoms; it does not cure the underlying cause. To find a permanent solution, you must identify the trigger. I strongly advise consulting a dermatologist or allergist. They will likely recommend blood tests like an absolute eosinophil count (AEC), total IgE levels, a thyroid profile, and a comprehensive allergy panel (skin prick or patch test). Identifying and avoiding the specific allergen or underlying condition is the key to stopping this medication permanently.
