You have recurrent allergies. The hyperpigmentation that you are having may also be related to allergies and maybe post-inflammatory in nature.

The mainstay of treatment is to figure out what the trigger for allergies is and to stay away from it.

I think you are on correct medicines for allergy. Montair-LC should be able to help with the allergies. During acute attacks, you may also add anti-allergic like cetirizine or loratadine tablet, etc.

For hyperpigmentation, you can try sulphur lotion. But you will need to get a prescription from a dermatologist. Other medicines are also available but are better recommended by dermatologist as they may have side effects.

I can suggest some lifestyle changes that should work:

- Take hygienic food and pure drinking water at all times
- Good nutrition is required.
- Take more of fruits and vegetables.
- Exercise upto 20 min a day
- Keep your nose and face covered in case of exposure to alergens

Let me know if I can assist you further.
