I recently saw a doctor for what might be a sebaceous cyst and got some meds for a few days. They said to check back if it improves, otherwise we might need a scan. But my wedding is on April 24th and I'm really worried is there any faster option like needle surgery or something to fix this quickly?

Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm curious about something I've come across. I know some homeopaths suggest using mother tinctures like berberis aquifolium to help with acne and scars, but I've also read that these tinctures have high levels of ethanol. I'm a bit worried because this type of alcohol is said to be drying and might not be good for facial skin. Can you please shed some light on whether ethanol is safe to use on the face?

I've been dealing with PCOS for a while and had a bad reaction to steroids in the past, so I've been cautious about medication. My dermatologist recently prescribed MINOZ OD 100 for my severe acne, and I'm a bit worried. Is it really safe for me to start taking these pills?
MINOZ OD 100 is a brand name for Minocycline, which is commonly used to treat acne. The usual dosage for Minocycline in the treatment of acne is 50-100 mg twice daily. It is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Before starting Minocycline, inform your dermatologist about your previous reaction to steroids to ensure there are no contraindications. Additionally, discuss any other medications you may be taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Regular follow-up with your dermatologist is recommended to monitor your response to the treatment and address any concerns.
