I'm dealing with an infection in my private area since last July. I've tried different treatments, but there's always a small patch that never fully heals, and then another one appears. I've used plenty of medicines and creams, but the issue just won't go away. Any advice on what I should do next?

When scheduled for a thyroid function test (TFT), it's recommended to withhold Thyronorm (levothyroxine) for 24-48 hours before the blood test.

Taking Thyronorm on the day of the test may affect the accuracy of the results, particularly the TSH levels.

Stop Thyronorm 24-48 hours prior to the test.

Consult your doctor or endocrinologist for personalized advice.

Follow instructions to ensure accurate test results.

Reschedule the test if you've taken Thyronorm on the same day

I'm really worried about my daughter. She's been dealing with angular cheilitis for the past 15 days. We went to the doctor and he recommended using this cream called Activities, but it hasn't helped at all. In fact, she's now got some kind of allergic reaction, with small red spots near her lower lips and face. It's also itchy and painful. I read online that this cream shouldn't be swallowed, and I'm wondering if that's what's causing the issue since she might have accidentally ingested some. I'm not sure what to do next. Can you help us figure out what's going on and what steps we should take?

calasoft lotion is advised to the patient.if any allergic reactions dermat opinion is advised.

I'm using Sebamed sunscreen 50 but noticed that it's only SPF 30, and my oily, sensitive skin tends to look dull on some days when I use it, while other days it seems fine. I'm considering switching to a gel-based sunscreen like Sunprotek because it has good reviews. I'm just not sure about the quality and ingredients, and whether it's a physical or chemical sunscreen. Can you help clarify this?

Yes you can use it no problem, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment

I'm really worried about my complexion. I've noticed my skin is dull and damaged, and I'm looking for something to help brighten it up. I heard Restreta could work for whitening the face. Is it really effective, and how soon can I expect to see results? I was told it might show results in a month, but I'm curious if that's true. Would you recommend this tablet?

no problem
