I'm a bit concerned about the prescription my dermatologist gave. She's put me on Aprezo 30 mg to be taken every night for 10 days, and then she wants me to up it to 12 tablets for the next 20 days. Is this medication safe to take like that? Just want to make sure it's okay for me.

Aprezo 30mg is a medication containing Apremilast, which is used to treat certain types of skin conditions such as psoriasis. The dosage regimen prescribed by your dermatologist is commonly used to gradually introduce the medication to your system and minimize potential side effects. Starting with 14 tablet daily at night for 10 days and then increasing to 12 tablet for the next 20 days is a safe and effective way to titrate the dose of Aprezo. This regimen helps your body adjust to the medication and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

Question

I'm really worried about something going on with my scrotum skin. It's gotten really dry, wrinkled, tight, and it's itching a lot, with a bit of redness too. I've tried using talcum powder and moisturizing cream, which helps for a bit, but then the itching comes back. This has been happening for the past couple of days. Could this be just from sweating, or is there a chance it could be something more serious?
