I'm a bit concerned because I was prescribed the fas 3 kit for a suspected fungal infection and followed the instructions, but after feeling better on day 2, the discomfort and burning sensation came back on day 3. The doctor said to check back after a week if things didn't improve, but I'm not sure if I should wait that long. Should I go for another consultation now, or give it a week like the doctor suggested?

It's normal to experience some fluctuation in symptoms during treatment. Since youre still feeling discomfort and burning, it's a good idea to consult your doctor sooner rather than waiting a week, especially if the symptoms arent improving. They may adjust your treatment plan for better relief.

I've been experiencing a sudden acne breakout on my cheeks and chin for the past 12 weeks, which is really unusual for me since I don't typically get acne. I even got tested for PCOD but that came out negative. I'm really confused and worried about what's causing this. Any ideas on what might be going on?

Sudden acne breakouts on the cheeks and chin in females can sometimes be due to hormonal fluctuations or changes in skincare products. Since your PCOD test results are negative, it's good to rule out hormonal imbalance. You can try using topical treatments containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. I recommend using "Differin Gel" once daily on the affected areas. Additionally, you can use "Cetaphil" gentle skin cleanser twice a day. If the acne persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
