I'm dealing with acne and was wondering if taking azithral 500mg would help clear it up. Is this a good idea or should I consider something else?

I don't recommend using Azithral 500mg tablet for acne treatment. Instead, you can try using topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. For severe cases, you may consider consulting a dermatologist who can prescribe oral medications like isotretinoin.

I'm really worried after the doctor mentioned I might have this steroid-related issue from using Lucobet skin cream. I can't remember the full name of the disease the doctor said. I'm currently on Doxil 100 and Nioclean gel for treatment. How long do you think it'll take before I see some improvement?

I'm a 28-year-old woman, 5 feet tall and weighing 48 kg. Lately, I've been feeling like insects are crawling all over my body, and it's worse when I'm working in water. I have no known allergies or other major health issues, and I don't smoke or drink. I've been on homeopathy medicine, but it's not helping. Plus, I've been experiencing pain in my joints. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
