I'm dealing with these mouth ulcers every two weeks and it's pretty painful, especially when I'm eating or talking. I'm really curious about what could help with the pain and maybe even prevent them from coming back. What should I do?

Mouth ulcers can be quite uncomfortable. To help relieve the pain and promote healing, you can use a topical oral gel containing Choline Salicylate and Cetalkonium Chloride. Apply the gel directly on the ulcer 3-4 times a day after meals and at bedtime. Additionally, you can take a Vitamin B complex supplement to aid in the healing process. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the ulcers.

View allI've read that barium sulfate can be used in preparing soap for removing permanent unwanted hair. Is that safe to use? I'm worried because I don't know much about how barium sulfate works and if it has any side effects on the skin. Can you explain this to me and whether it's a reliable method?
Using soap combined with any substance like barium sulfate for hair removal would not provide any significant results and could potentially cause irritation or harm to the skin. Always choose clinically tested and proven methods for hair removal.

I've been using Doxycycline 100mg, deriva bpo gel, and saslic ds face wash as part of my skincare routine for about 15 days now, just like my dermatologist suggested, and they want me to continue for another 15 days. But I've noticed my face is getting darker, especially around the eyes, which I think could be hyperpigmentation from the deriva bpo. Even though my doctor saw the pictures and thinks I should keep going, I'm really worried about this change. What should I do?
