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 been dealing with this pimple on my areola for about a year now. It started off small, and I squeezed it once, which caused this white sticky stuff to come out. But this past week, it got bigger, turned red, and was filled with pus. It actually burst on its own today and got smaller, but it's still red. I'm on lung TB meds, and I'm also getting these little bumps like pimples on my forehead. I've had acne issues before. When I asked a gynaecologist, they mentioned it could be a breast abscess from the TB meds and suggested squeezing it more and taking Augmentin 625 duo for five days. Is this okay? Could taking Augmentin affect my TB treatment? Does this kind of reaction happen when someone is on TB meds? It's new to me, and I'm getting a bit worried.

Yes,continue same treatment.Tab augmentin duo 625mg thrice daily ,orally for 5 days. If symptoms persists surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about these sebaceous cysts I've noticed. Are they something serious that I should be concerned about? I'd love to know what exactly causes them and if there's a way to actually treat or cure them. Any insight would be super helpful!

Sebaceous cysts are typically curable and not a serious problem, caused by blockage of sebaceous glands, genetics, trauma, or infection; treatment options include antibiotics for infected cysts, drainage or surgical excision for large or persistent cysts, and home remedies like warm compresses or tea tree oil for small, uninfected cysts,

I've been dealing with an itching issue in my private area, and it's really starting to affect me. I'm also noticing a change in my skin color there, and it's pretty worrying. I'd love to hear which doctor you would recommend for something like this. I just want my skin back to its normal state.

Sounds like a fungal infection. Candid-B cream for local application, used 2-3 times a day, including before bedtime might be helpful for you. For skin lightening and scar repair, you can use Melalite cream. If the itching persists or worsens, seek a dermatologist consult.
