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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm dealing with jock itch, and it's made the skin on my inner thighs darker. I'm concerned about getting my natural skin tone back and was wondering if there's a specific cream for this. Is using something like Kojic acid cream effective for both treating the itch and lightening the skin, or should I be looking for something else? Any advice would be really helpful!
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm a bit concerned about the prescription my dermatologist gave. She's put me on Aprezo 30 mg to be taken every night for 10 days, and then she wants me to up it to 12 tablets for the next 20 days. Is this medication safe to take like that? Just want to make sure it's okay for me.
Aprezo 30mg is a medication containing Apremilast, which is used to treat certain types of skin conditions such as psoriasis. The dosage regimen prescribed by your dermatologist is commonly used to gradually introduce the medication to your system and minimize potential side effects. Starting with 14 tablet daily at night for 10 days and then increasing to 12 tablet for the next 20 days is a safe and effective way to titrate the dose of Aprezo. This regimen helps your body adjust to the medication and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

I've been dealing with a fungal issue from a couple of years ago that cleared up with treatment. Now, the skin on my inner thigh is darkened, and when I rub it, black dirt seems to come off. I'm also a bit overweight. Is this discoloration a leftover from the infection, or is it possibly from my weight? What can I do to lighten the skin again?
The dark skin in the inner thigh area is likely due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with obesity. To help improve the dark skin in the inner thigh area, you can try the following: 1. Maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. 2. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. 3. Use a medicated cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the dark skin. Apply it as directed by your doctor. 4. Consider using an exfoliating scrub to help remove dead skin cells and lighten the area. 5. Consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options, such as laser therapy or chemical peels, if needed. Remember to continue practicing good hygiene and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent further skin issues.
