View allI've been dealing with acne and my dermatologist recommended a doxycycline lactic bacillus tablet for 60 days to take at night. I'm just wondering, is it actually safe to be on this medication for such a long duration?
Using doxycycline for 60 days to treat acne is generally safe for most people, but you should be aware of potential side effects like gastrointestinal issues, photosensitivity, and yeast infections. Make sure to follow your dermatologists instructions carefully

I've noticed that my forehead is a lot darker than the rest of my face, and it's been like this for almost two years now. I initially thought it was just a tan and have tried all sorts of things, like getting regular facials and home remedies, but nothing seems to be working. Any advice on how I can fix this?

I'm dealing with a persistent allergy to the parthenium plant, as indicated by my skin test report. Even though I've stayed away from these plants and there's none around my house, I'm still experiencing facial allergies. I've been using steroid creams and tablets, but the allergy keeps coming back once I stop them. Is there a tablet or an injection available that could help me manage this parthenium plant allergy more effectively? It's becoming quite frustrating.
