I'm dealing with iron deficiency and was taking Ferrium XT for it. But ever since I started, I've been breaking out with acne on my face. Do you know of any iron supplements that might not have this side effect of acne or pimples?

You can try taking Ferglow tablets, which are a gentle iron supplement that is less likely to cause side effects like acne or pimples. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily, but please consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I've noticed some red spots and a white layer on the head of my penis, and it's also really itchy. Initially, there was this white substance that formed, and now, these red spots have appeared. I'm kind of worried about what this might be and how I should treat it. Any advice?

I've been noticing these dark bruise-like marks showing up on my lower legs for the last 8 months, and no matter what, they just won't fade away. It's kind of worrying me because they keep increasing. I am on the heavier side, and I'm wondering if my weight might be causing these haematomas, especially when there's pressure on certain spots of my legs. I've talked to a couple of doctors, but none seem to really get what's going on or how to treat it. Is there something else I could try, or some insight I might be missing?

I'm really worried about these dark circles under my eyes. I've heard that laser treatment might help, but I'm not sure if that's the best option. Are there any other effective ways to reduce them? Would love some advice on this!

Dark circles can be treated with laser therapy, which helps to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. Another way to reduce dark circles is by using topical creams containing ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with adequate sleep, hydration, and a balanced diet can also help improve the appearance of dark circles.
