Question

I've noticed some white patches on my skin and I'm worried they might be a fungal infection. Should I be washing my clothes separately because of this? I'm really concerned about how this might spread or affect others in my household. What precautions should I be taking?

Question

Can I use Halox lotion for a full month? My doctor recommended it to help with telogen effluvium. Are there any potential side effects if I use it for that long? Will it actually be beneficial for my situation?

Question

I've been dealing with a persistent fever for the past four days, and then I started getting blisters all over my bodyon my face, scalp, chest, arms, and legs. A local doctor said it's chickenpox and gave me triz valtovol 500mg and voltaflam 50mg tablets. I started taking them twice daily since last night, and the blisters are turning black and hurting less. I think this might mean they're healing. But now, I'm concerned because I'm getting tiny blisters on my penis and glans, and it's worrying me. I'm not sure if this is from the chickenpox or a side effect of the medication. The blisters are small, but they hurt a little when I pee. Can you help me figure out what's going on? Let me know if you need more details.

Question

I've been using this thing called hydroquinone tretinoin baby face num.2 and my face got really red after just three days. I stopped using it, but then my skin started peeling and stayed red for a few more days. Now I've got this really bad rash on my face, which has never happened before. I've always had clear skin and never any acne on my forehead, just some tiny pimples on my cheeks. But now, these small red pimples are all over my face. How can I get my skin back to normal?
