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

Hey, I'm a bit curious and maybe a little worried too. Can I use Venusia cream on my face if I'm also applying an anti-aging serum and face powder? I'm just trying to make sure my skin routine is safe and effective. Would love your advice!

I've been dealing with this rash near my groin area for a while now. At first, I thought it was just a shaving rash, but it's spreading. They begin as small circles and then grow into larger clusters. The rash is flat, not itchy, and has a reddish-brown color. Should I be worried about this? What could it possibly be?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection, such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra (clotrimazole) twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help the healing process. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been having some issues ever since I quit smoking cigarettes back in June. I tried putting a cigarette to my mouth a few days without actually smoking, and my lips burned really badly. Ever since then, they've been swelling on and off. I also started vaping around the same time. Now my lips are swollen, itchy, and they look kind of bruised. Do you think this could be related to quitting smoking or starting vaping? What should I do?
