Can Soframycin be used on facial pimples? Will there be any effects if I try it on a pimple? I'm really hoping someone can help me out with this.

No, continue same treatment as advised by the dermatologist.Clinol gel for local application for atleast 2-3weeks is advised to the patient.

View allCan you tell me if it's okay to use candid b cream for a fungal infection on my face? I've got these really annoying red and dry patches on my cheeks that look just like dandruff, and I'm a bit worried about them. Is this cream safe to apply there, or should I be trying something else?
Candid B cream can be used for fungal infections on the face. It contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which are effective in treating fungal infections. You can apply a thin layer of Candid B cream on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Remember to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.

I'm dealing with severe hair fall after recovering from dengue last month, and my dermatologist recommended ADHAIR tablets and KZ lotion. I came across some online reviews suggesting that ADHAIR might have side effects, especially post-marriage. Is this true? What side effects should I be worried about? Can I safely continue using the tablets?
No there are no such serious side effects you can take it,follow your doctors advice
