I'm dealing with a situation here where I've been using adaferin gel for an hour every night and rejuglow face wash after getting advice from my doctor for my acne. But now, after a week, my acne's really flared up, and my skin's super dry, with itchy patches around my nose, mouth, and eyes. It's so dry, and even when I try to put on a moisturizer or use rose water, it burns. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something else I should try?

I'm really worried because I've had these dry rashes on my palms and feet for about a year and a half now. My doctor prescribed Halovate F, but it seems like it's just making things worse. Should I continue using it or maybe consider some other treatment options? What could these rashes mean? Any advice would be appreciated!

Dry rashes on your palms and feet for such a long duration can be quite bothersome. Halovate F contains the active ingredients Halobetasol and Fusidic Acid, which are used to reduce inflammation and treat skin infections. However, if you are experiencing an increase in symptoms despite using this medication, it may be necessary to consider alternative treatments. I recommend discussing with your doctor about trying a different medication such as Clobetasol propionate cream, which is a potent corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching associated with skin conditions. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Additionally, it is important to keep your skin well moisturized by using emollients or moisturizers regularly. Avoiding triggers such as harsh soaps, excessive hand washing, or irritants can also help in managing your symptoms. If the rashes persist or worsen, further evaluation by a dermatologist may be necessary to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.

I'm dealing with an infection near my belly button, and it's been causing some pus discharge. I used soframycin initially and then tried Fucidin cream, which helped a bit with the discharge, but there's still some redness and irritation around the area. I've also been on antibiotics and taken some anti-inflammatory tablets like Zerodol. Today, I noticed some hairy material coming out, which I think might be related to the umbilical cord. Could you advise me on what steps I should take next?

Had some antibiotic shots on my back about 78 days ago, and now they're starting to hurt a bit. Any idea what might be causing this?

The lingering pain at the injection site 7-8 days after antibiotic injections on your back could be due to inflammation, muscle irritation, or a localized reaction to the antibiotic, which can cause delayed-onset pain.
