I recently got over a bout of diarrhea, and it seems like the antibiotic ORNIO really helped. But now I'm experiencing itchiness all over my body, and I'm noticing these tiny bumps popping up on my skin. I've never had any allergies to medication before, but could this antibiotic be causing these symptoms? Can you provide some guidance on what might be happening?

I've noticed this red pore on my nose that's been around for almost a year now. I'm kind of worried about what it could be and how to get rid of it. I regularly squeeze blackheads on my nose, so I wonder if maybe it's an infected pore? What do you think?

Recently had hand surgery and there's still a mark left from it. I've been using hexilak gel for about two months now but it doesn't seem to be fading. Is this normal or should I try something else?

It‚Äôs normal to have some scarring after hand surgery. If the scar isn‚Äôt fading, you might want to try silicone gel sheets or corticosteroid injections. Consult with your surgeon for other scar treatment options if necessary.

I've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis and my lips are really damaged - even had surgery but it didn't fully help. What kind of cream would you recommend for healing the skin?

For exfoliative cheilitis, consider using tacrolimus ointment, petroleum jelly, or lanolin-based creams. Avoid lip licking and maintain hydration.
