I'm a 29-year-old guy, and my doctor gave me Alaspan tablets for my dry and itchy skin because it's apparently some allergy issue. I noticed that Algo tablets have the same stuff in them but they're cheaper. Do you think it's okay for me to switch to Algo? Also, are there any other cheaper options you could recommend besides Alaspan?

If algo is working for you, you can use it as both are same .

View allI've just started taking medication for hair treatment since early September 2017 and I've come across some stuff about potential side effects. I'm kinda worried because some articles I read online are making me anxious. Are these side effects common for everyone, or is it just a few cases?
Continue same treatment.

I've been struggling with these heat boils that show up around my private area whenever I'm about to have my period. They're filled with pus and even blood sometimes, and it's incredibly painful. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
This could be due to a condition called folliculitis or an infection of the hair follicles. To help with this issue, you can try using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin on the affected area twice a day after cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, taking a course of oral antibiotics like Augmentin or Keflex as prescribed by a doctor can also help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further irritation. If the boils persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been struggling with acne marks on my face, and once they heal, the scabs leave behind fresh pink skin that doesn't blend in well with the rest of my face. It takes forever for these spots to lighten up or become less noticeable. This whole situation has really hit my confidence hard. I feel embarrassed to go out and often end up avoiding social gatherings because of it. I'm basically drained emotionally by all this. Is there anything I can do to help make these marks fade faster or blend better?
There are many advanced treatment modalities available you can try with co2 laser or other perfusion techniques for a good result
