I'm a bit worried because I've been using this vcx vitamin C serum my doctor told me to use every morning after washing my face, and instead of brightening my skin, it seems like my skin is getting darker. I've stopped using it for now but noticed that the serum has turned dark and has a weird smell. Is it still safe to use? Should I be applying this stuff in the morning or at night instead? My skin's pretty sensitive and has a bit of a dark wheatish tone, so I'm kinda concerned. Any advice would really help.

I'm dealing with something called tinea incognito and my doctor gave me two creamsLivafin and Onabet. They said to use them twice a day, but I'm confused. Should I be applying both at the same time or just one of them? Could really use some advice here.

You should use both creams as prescribed by your doctor. Apply Livafin cream first, followed by Onabet cream, twice daily. Livafin contains Terbinafine and Onabet contains Sertaconazole, both are antifungal medications that work together to treat tinea incognito effectively.

I'm a bit worried about my daughter's alopecia treatment. We're seeing Dr. Aruna Kumari in Bangalore, and she's advised us to apply Myolaxin gel once a day to the affected area. I've looked it up online, and it seems Myolaxin is more for pain relief. Is this the right treatment for her alopecia? It just doesn't seem like what I expected, and I'm really concerned. Can you help?

Myolaxin gel is indeed commonly used for pain relief due to its muscle relaxant properties. In the case of alopecia, it is not a standard treatment. I recommend discussing this with Aruna Kumari to clarify the intended purpose of using Myolaxin gel for alopecia. If needed, she may consider prescribing medications specifically tailored for alopecia treatment such as Minoxidil solution to promote hair growth.

Can you help me understand what the side effects of Wysolone might be? I'm only taking it for a short period, just 15 tablets, because of ulcers. The doctor also suggested I pair it with Septiline. When should I expect any side effects to show up, if at all?

Itching,nausea,headache, allergic reactions etc are the side-effects.. Kindly continue the medication as per dermatologist opinion.
