I was recently diagnosed with acne vulgaris and my doctor prescribed Doxycycline lactic acid bacillus 100 mg for two months. I'm concerned about whether it's safe to take this medication for that long. Is there anything I should watch out for or be aware of while taking it?

Doxycycline (100 mg) for 2 months is a standard treatment for acne vulgaris, and when combined with Lactic Acid Bacillus, it is generally considered safe, but monitor for potential side effects like gastrointestinal upset, photosensitivity, and antibiotic resistance.

I've had these leech bites from a few months ago, and even though I've been putting boroline on them regularly, they just won't go away. They're not super bothersome, but they do itch sometimes, and it's been quite a while now. Should I be worried or try something else?

Seems like the leech bites may have caused some irritation and itching. To help with the healing process and alleviate the itching, you can try applying an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for about a week. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Claritin can also help with the itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
