What Causes Brown Patchy Discoloration On The Body Despite Using Methylyprednisolone?

Hi I have a few red patches on my body which flare red then turn into a brown colour.I have tried anti fungal cream, exezema cream n the doc also has given me a cream named fatty ointment methylprednisolone aceponate. I have been using this for 5 days now and it s not working? The rashes have been on my body for a month n I appear to be getting more. I have been having severe hayfever reactions n am on meds for it. I have also been highly stressed out in my personal life. I hope this is enough info to help ur diagnosis

Hi.
As per your case history you are having urticaria.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for 2 months.
2. Don't take any medication without consulting a doctor as it may worsen the condition.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral hydroxyzine, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
