I'm having some concerns with my medication. My name is Tamara, and I'm currently on my period. Should I continue taking my meds, or is it safe to pause them for a bit? Any advice would be really helpful.

You can continue the medicines as your doctor advised no need to stop them if you are menstruating.

I'm worried about the possibility of having sex with my husband while he's still being treated for scabies. He's only put on the cream twice, and we're noticing his skin starting to dry up in those spots. Is it okay for us to be intimate now, or should we wait a bit longer?

It's generally recommended to avoid intimate contact, including sex, until your husband has completed the full scabies treatment course, usually 2-3 applications of permethrin cream, 7-10 days apart, and has been symptom-free for at least 24-48 hours, to minimize the risk of transmission, as scabies mites can survive off the human host for up to 72 hours.

I've been noticing a lot of red moles popping up on my body hands, stomach, legs, neck and they seem to be increasing. What could these be, and is there a way to stop them from spreading? Also, are there any natural methods to remove the existing ones without going for cosmetic surgery? I've attached a picture for reference.

The red moles you're describing likely correspond to cherry angiomas, which are benign, harmless skin growths that become more common with age. They don't typically require treatment unless they cause discomfort or you prefer them removed for cosmetic reasons. While there's no way to prevent their appearance, some self-care practices can help protect your skin from sun exposure
