I'm wondering if I can take MICRODOX LBX tablets again without a doctor's advice. They helped me before with skin pimples. Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

MICRODOX LBX tablet is a combination medication that contains Doxycycline and Lactobacillus. It is commonly used to treat acne and other bacterial infections. However, it is important to note that antibiotics like Doxycycline should not be taken without a doctor's prescription, as they can have potential side effects and may not be suitable for everyone

I've recently recovered from a jock itch infection in my groin area, but it's left the skin there really dark and blackened. The infection itself is gone and Im not having any symptoms now, but the skin hasn't gone back to normal. Is there anything I can do to help it heal or lighten back to its usual color?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about an oval blackish-brown spot I've noticed on the glans of my penis. It doesn't hurt, and the borders are irregular, and its not elevated. I honestly can't remember when it first showed up, but I discovered it after I got circumcised because I had phimosis. Should I be worried about this spot, or is it something that can happen post-circumcision?
