I'm currently taking Methotrexate 5mg and a contraceptive tablet. I'm wondering, how long should I continue these medications? Also, is it advisable to consider phototherapy as a treatment option?

Accepted Answer

Taking Oncotrex (methotrexate) 5mg with a contraceptive tablet is a common treatment regimen for conditions like psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis; the duration of treatment varies depending on the condition and response, but typically ranges from a few months to several years; regarding phototherapy, it may be advisable in conjunction with methotrexate treatment, but this should be discussed with your doctor, as phototherapy can increase the risk of skin cancer and other side effects.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have a fungal infection that is spreading. To treat this, you can use an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream. Apply the cream twice a day on the affected areas, including the feet, hands, and elbows. Make sure to keep the areas clean and dry before applying the cream. If the infection does not improve or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin rash or allergic reaction. Since the medications you have tried have not been effective, I recommend trying an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Additionally, you can apply a topical hydrocortisone cream to the affected area twice daily for relief. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.

It's essential to consult a SURGEON for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Possible causes of the bump could be:

1. Infected ingrown hair or folliculitis
2. Abscess or boil
3. Cyst or sebaceous cyst
4. Skin infection like cellulitis or erysipelas
5. Insect bite or sting

Given the symptoms you described, such as:

- Increasing size and pain
- Bright red color
- Hollow center
