I'm having this issue with my skin where the sides of my nose get flaky after I shower. They've also started turning dark and itchy. I've been using Pears soap for a long time, like over a year, and I'm not sure if that's causing it. I went to the doctor before, and they gave me a hyperpigmentation cream, but it hasn't really helped. What do you think could be causing this, or what should I try next?

I've noticed this vertical black line that's appeared on my left thumbnail, and it's kind of worrying me. Some folks mentioned it might be due to a vitamin deficiency. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and what I should do about it?

The safe limit for alprazolam in a day varies depending on the individual, their medical condition, and the dosage form. Typically, the recommended daily dose ranges from 0.25 to 2 milligrams, taken 2 to 3 times a day . Taking 5 grams of alprazolam can be extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening. This is an excessively high dose that can cause severe symptoms, including respiratory depression, coma, and even death . Regarding drug interactions, alprazolam can interact with various medications, including paracetamol (acetaminophen). While paracetamol is generally safe to use with alprazolam, taking high doses of paracetamol can increase the risk of liver damage, especially when combined with other medications like alprazolam .

I've been having this issue with my right nipple where it keeps getting dry and itchy off and on for a few weeks now. There's also this dry patch on the areola area, like dry skin. I try using moisturizer, and it helps a bit, but it goes back to being dry and itchy pretty quickly, especially after showering. There's no pain or bleeding, or anything else weird going on. Should I be worried about this? Does it sound serious?

I've been dealing with a genital herpes diagnosis on the head of my penis, and while my HIV test came back negative, these sores keep reappearing every 10 to 12 days. I was prescribed Acivir 400 and an ointment, both of which I stopped using after the initial 10-day treatment as the doctor advised. But when the sores come back, I can't help but start taking the Acivir again and applying the ointment. Is this okay to do, or should I be sticking to a specific course of medication? Are there other treatments that might help reduce how often these sores break out? Also, any precautionary measures I should be considering?

Continue same treatment.
