How should I apply CANDID TV SUSPENSION for these small white patches on my face? The dermatologist said it's tinea versicolor. I'm a bit concerned about using it on facial skin. Is there anything specific I need to do or watch out for?

To use Candid TV Suspension for tinea versicolor on the face, apply a thin layer to the affected area, gently massaging it in, twice a day for 2-4 weeks, while avoiding eye contact and taking sun protection measures, and follow up with your dermatologist to monitor progress.

I've just applied castor oil on my face for the first time, and suddenly I've got these small red bumps popping up all over. I'm not sure what's going on. Could you tell me what might be causing this and if there's any ointment or treatment I could use to help calm my skin down? Would appreciate any advice you have!

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or irritation from the castor oil. You can try using a hydrocortisone cream, such as Cortaid, to help reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for up to a week. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I accidentally ate a bit of fish before having some curd, and now I'm really worried about whether this could lead to any skin issues. Can you give me any advice on what I should do or if there's anything I need to watch out for? I'm quite concerned and would appreciate your guidance.

it's believed that consuming curd (yogurt) after eating fish can lead to skin issues. However, there's limited scientific evidence to support this claim. Possible concerns: 1. Allergic reactions: If you're allergic to fish or lactose intolerant, consuming curd after fish might exacerbate symptoms. 2. Digestive issues: Fish and curd can be difficult to digest for some people, potentially leading to stomach discomfort, bloating, or gas. 3. Skin issues: While there's no direct link between eating curd after fish and skin problems, some people might experience skin reactions due to individual sensitivities or allergies.

I recently noticed some warts around the base of my penis, so I tried using this product called Wart Magic. I put it on the warts three times, but after the third time, it started burning really badly and it just won't stop. I'm stuck in a training course for the next six weeks and I can't see a doctor right now. What can I do to get some relief from this burning sensation?
