Question

I'm having trouble finding a medication called doxycycline lb that my dermatologist prescribed. Can I take doxycycline tablets 100 mg and lactic acid bacillus 60 million spores instead? Is it an equivalent or should I be concerned about the differences?

Question

I've been dealing with this issue where about a year ago, I noticed two small dark red blisters on the glans of my penis. They weren't painful and I barely noticed them at first, but now it's turned into something like a small wound that's slightly itchy and red. Ive tried a few things, but nothing seems to help. I'm really worried about why it hasn't healed yet, so could you help me figure out whats going on?

Question

Can Candid B cream be used to treat jock itch, and do I need to let the affected area air out after applying the cream?

Question

I've had this splinter stuck in my finger for around 5 months now, and no matter how hard I try, I can't find it or get it out. Now there's this hard bump that's super sensitive and sometimes painful when I press on it. There's this one spot that's particularly tender, right where the splinter originally was. I've cut away dead skin and tried to find it so many times, but this bump just keeps coming back after about a week. What should I do about this?
