I have these small black pimples all over my face, and my doctor said I should take Wysolone 10, three pills every morning for a week because of some bad cream I used. I'm worried about any side effects. What do you think?

View allI've been feeling really worried lately. A while back, while I was on vacation, I noticed some swelling under my left eye one night. I used exocin, and the swelling got better, but I started losing hair, and it's not stopping even after a month. I also got the same eye infection in the same eye again. What could be causing this hair loss and recurring infection? Is there something more serious going on? I'm really scared and would appreciate any advice.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called blepharitis, which is inflammation of the eyelids. The recurrence of the eye infection and ongoing hair loss may be related to this underlying issue. I recommend using a combination of antibiotic eye drops like Tobrex (tobramycin) and a mild steroid ointment like Tobradex (tobramycindexamethasone) for the eye infection. Additionally, you can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for the hair loss. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for these medications. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm currently taking erythromycin tablets for my acne and I'm curious about how long they take to digest. Can you tell me more about that?
Erythromycin is an antibiotic commonly used to treat acne. The digest time, also known as the absorption time, of erythromycin tablets can vary depending on several factors, such as the dosage form, individual metabolism, and food intake. Typically, erythromycin tablets are absorbed into the bloodstream within 1-4 hours after oral administration. However, the exact digest time may range from 30 minutes to 6 hours. Here's a rough breakdown of what you can expect: - 30 minutes to 1 hour: Erythromycin starts getting absorbed into the bloodstream. - 1-2 hours: Peak absorption levels are reached. - 2-4 hours: Erythromycin starts taking effect against acne-causing bacteria. - 4-6 hours: The antibiotic is fully absorbed and distributed throughout the body. Keep in mind that these times are approximate and may vary from person to person.

I've been having a really annoying issue with my scalp lately. It's super itchy and flaky, and there's a bunch of hair falling out. On top of that, it's like I'm getting these grainy, salt-like particles on my scalp that itch as well. It's honestly driving me nuts because my scalp feels dirty just a day after I wash it. I've been using Head & Shoulders but it's not helping. What could be going on with my scalp? Any advice on how to fix this?
