Question 1

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.

Accepted Answer

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be bothersome. You can try using antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride hexahydrate, such as Certain Dri or SweatBlock. Apply it to dry skin at bedtime and wash it off in the morning. If over-the-counter antiperspirants do not help, you may consider prescription-strength options like Drysol, which contains aluminum chloride. Apply it to the affected areas at bedtime and wash off in the morning. Remember to follow the instructions provided with the product for best results.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have developed a skin infection or a severe allergic reaction. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Betamethasone 0.1% twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with itching and inflammation. It is important to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're experiencing chronic urticaria (hives), which can occur for various reasons, even without an obvious allergy. Stress, temperature changes, or other factors could be triggering it. I recommend avoiding known irritants, managing stress, and trying antihistamines for relief. If symptoms persist, please consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions or explore other treatment options.

Question 5

I've noticed a dark spot on my nose and mouth, and I'm trying to figure out what's causing it. Could it be related to dandruff or maybe whiteheads on my nose? I'm really curious to understand why this is happening and how I might be able to manage it...

Accepted Answer

To control dark spots on your nose and mouth, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, retinoids, and corticosteroids. Additionally, using sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the spots. It is also important to maintain a good skincare routine, including gentle cleansing and exfoliation. For dandruff or whiteheads on the nose, you can use anti-dandruff shampoos containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. For whiteheads, topical treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can be effective. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and instructions provided on the product packaging.
