I'm noticing some hypopigmentation on the lower half of my nipple and areola, particularly on the right side. It's definitely more noticeable there compared to the left side. Should I be worried about this change in color, or is it something normal that happens sometimes? What might cause this kind of change, and do I need to see a doctor about it?

Hey, I was prescribed gris odt 250mg for a fungal infection on my back. But when I went to get it, they gave me grisovin FP 250mg because they were out of stock of the original one. I'm a little worried and just want to know if it's okay to use this as a substitute? Can you help me out here?

Grisovin FP (250mg) is a suitable alternative to Gris ODT (250mg) for fungal infections since they have the same active ingredient (Griseofulvin) and similar formulation (oral tablets). Consult your doctor and monitor your response to the medication.

I've been dealing with a mild itch around my anus, so I put some Dettol on it. Now it's a bit swollen and there's this weird sticky feeling that won't go away, even after I clean it with water. There's no pain, though. Could Dettol have caused this, or is it just something from the itch itself? What can I do to get rid of that sticky sensation?

Discontinue using Dettol, as it can be too harsh for anal skin, and instead, try the following to alleviate the sticky feeling and swelling: clean the area gently with warm water; apply a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic soap or a mild cleanser specifically designed for anal care; pat dry, avoiding rubbing or scratching; apply a thin layer of a soothing cream or ointment, such as hydrocortisone or aloe vera gel; and consider taking an oral antihistamine or applying a topical antihistamine cream to reduce itching and inflammation.
