Question

I've been given doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus for my acne and I'm really unsure about how many capsules I'm supposed to take each day. Could you help me understand the right dosage and the best times to take them?

Question

I've been using ibglow cream because it was recommended to me, but after a few days, I noticed redness on my right cheek. There's also dryness, itching, and inflammation. I stopped using the cream, but I'm really worried about these symptoms. What can I do to treat this reaction and get things back to normal?

Question

I've been dealing with a fungal infection on my leg for a while now, and it just won't get better. I've tried using Ebernet and Nadibact Plus, among other treatments, but nothing seems to work, and it's actually spreading. Do you have any idea why these aren't working or what else I could try? I'm really worried about it getting worse.

Question

I've been dealing with this pimple on my areola for about a year now. It started off small, and I squeezed it once, which caused this white sticky stuff to come out. But this past week, it got bigger, turned red, and was filled with pus. It actually burst on its own today and got smaller, but it's still red. I'm on lung TB meds, and I'm also getting these little bumps like pimples on my forehead. I've had acne issues before. When I asked a gynaecologist, they mentioned it could be a breast abscess from the TB meds and suggested squeezing it more and taking Augmentin 625 duo for five days. Is this okay? Could taking Augmentin affect my TB treatment? Does this kind of reaction happen when someone is on TB meds? It's new to me, and I'm getting a bit worried.
