I'm having some trouble with acne and my doctor said to take doxy 100mg capsules. But when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called doxybond LB. They mentioned there are different types like doxylab and doxybond LB. I looked up doxybond LB online and saw it might have a bunch of side effects. Now I'm worriedwill this actually help with my acne, or could it cause more issues? What should I do?

I've had this medium-sized fungal issue near my upper thigh for the past month. I've tried various treatments like the Gurda tube, but it's still lingering. Could you suggest what else I might try for these types of fungal infections? I'm worried and hoping for some guidance on what I can do next.

I've been dealing with lichen planus pigmentosus and it's left some noticeable acne on my face. I'm really into makeup and I've been wondering if it's okay to use it to cover up these spots. I just want to make sure I'm not going to make things worse or do something that could harm my skin. Could using makeup cause any issues with acne from lichen planus pigmentosus? What should I consider before applying anything?

It is generally safe to apply makeup to hide acne caused by lichen planus pigmentosus. However, it is important to choose non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic makeup products to avoid exacerbating the acne. You can use a gentle cleanser, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer, and then use a concealer or foundation to cover the acne. Additionally, you can consider using topical treatments prescribed by your dermatologist to treat the underlying lichen planus pigmentosus.
