Hi,

Yes, you can please take Allegra once at night along with clinical lotion for local application. Check why are you getting these rashes and bumps, check your igE levels. Try and avoid food or substances which you feel trigger allergy for you.

Avoid using carpets, rugs and woolen clothes. Soak bed linen, pillow covers and sheets you use in 70 degree hot water before you clean with detergent. Avoid pets and harsh chemicals. If symptoms persist, you can please get an Allergy skin test to figure out the allergens and desensitised it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varalakshmi Govindappa, ENT Specialist
