Question

My mom's been using Medisalic ointment during the winter months, and she's noticed that brown spots start showing up on her face. It's weird because she uses the same ointment in the summer and doesn't get these spots. Her skin's also pretty dry. Could you help us figure out why this might be happening? We're really puzzled about what's going on.

The brown spots may be due to the combination of medication, winter dryness, and increased sun sensitivity. Protecting the skin with sunscreen, using the ointment sparingly, and ensuring proper hydration can help manage this issue. If the problem persists or gets worse, its always a good idea to seek further advice from a dermatologist to tailor the treatment specifically to her skin type.

Question

I'm really worried because I keep getting these ringworms and pustules only on my face, especially in the summer. I've had ringworm three different times in the last six years, but always just on my face and not elsewhere on my body. I'm not sure why this keeps happening. Could it be something specific to facial skin, or maybe it's related to something else I'm not aware of? Any advice on how to deal with this would be really appreciated.

Question

I'm a 25-year-old woman, and I recently had hand surgery. My surgeon put me on Acuvin and Cetil 500, and I've been taking them for four days. I've started experiencing vaginal itching since then. My doctor hasn't given me anything for it. Do you have any suggestions on what might be causing this or what I can do to deal with it?

Can you let me know if St Botanica Vitamin C Serum is safe for my skin? I'm thinking of including it in my current skincare routine.
