I'm dealing with chronic folliculitis and it's really frustrating. I've seen a dermatologist and tried ampicillin and cloxacillin tablets, which help while I'm on them. But as soon as I stop taking the medication, the infection just comes right back. Is there anything I can do to keep it from returning?

You did not mention what body part is getting affected repeatedly. Chronic folliculitis is a stubborn infection of hair follicle and takes longer time for cure. You may need longer course of an antibiotic after pus culture. Visit a dermatologist again for same.

View allI'm 20 and I've been using Skin Lite cream, and it made my face fair for the first couple of days, but then I started noticing some side effects. My face doesn't have pimples or acne, but it's turned really dark, and no other products seem to be helping. I'm getting worried and not sure what to do. Could you please give me some advice on how to deal with this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation as a side effect of using the skin lite cream. To help improve the darkening of your face, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is "Melalite XL cream" which can be applied once at night for a few weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day with at least SPF 30 is essential to prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm currently using Hair4u shampoo by Glenmark every day and applying Tugain form 5 at night. I'm wondering if it's okay to wash my hair daily with this shampoo. Is this something that's usually recommended? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate your advice on whether this routine is safe.
yes you can as it is advised by your doctor but if your scalp is irretated and dry it is recomended to limit the usage to 3-4 times a week

I'm really curious about finding the right cream for my skin. My skin tone is quite dark and a friend mentioned this uniwhite cream that might help lighten it. I'm wondering if it's actually effective for what I'm looking for, or if there's a better option you could recommend for dark skin?
