I'm noticing these weird rashes popping up on my chest and back. They have a round shape and seem scaly in the middle. There's a bit of a reddish tint, and my skin is actually peeling from these spots. I'm really worried about what kind of infection this might be. Could you tell me more about it and suggest any medications I should consider?

I'm a bit worried about the MINOZ ER 45 that my doctor gave me for my acne. I'm supposed to take it for 6 months. Can you tell me if it's a steroid or just an antibiotic?

Gradually reduce the use of Panderm Plus, switch to a gentle moisturizer, and consider using acne treatment options that dont involve steroids. Consulting with a dermatologist is always a great next step to find a tailored solution for your skin.

I'm really worried about this skin rash I've had for 3 years. It always seems to flare up after I chew tobacco. The rash just doesn't go away easily, and I have to take half a Cetrizine pill to get some relief. I'm really concerned if this could be related to HIV. Can you help?

The skin rash triggered by chewing tobacco is unlikely to be directly related to HIV, as HIV-related rashes typically occur in conjunction with other symptoms like fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes; instead, consider consulting a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of the rash, which could be an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis, and follow their recommended treatment plan, while also avoiding tobacco and other potential triggers.
