I'm noticing these white spots on my hand, and they've spread more over the past week. I'm not taking any medications right now. What could this be, and should I be concerned? Is there something I can do about it?

View allI'm dealing with acne vulgaris and it's been about a year now. I recently heard about Evion 400mg tablets and was wondering if it's safe to take them daily for my skin condition. Could this help my acne at all?

I'm currently using Epiduo gel 0.12.5 for my acne, but it's really putting a strain on my budget. Are there any other gels out there with the same ingredients that might be more affordable?

I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis for a while now, and I'm getting really frustrated. A year ago, my doctor suggested azithromycin, and it worked initially, but the condition came back after a week. I tried azithromycin again for another five days, but it didn't help at all this time. So, I saw another doctor who recommended doxycycline with vitamin C for a week. It seemed to get better, but then it flared up again just two days after I finished the meds. It's been really annoying trying these antibiotics without long-term relief. What do you think I should do next? Could there be something else going on?
Seborrheic dermatitis can be challenging to treat, especially if it keeps recurring despite multiple courses of antibiotics. Since azithromycin and doxycycline have not provided long-lasting relief for you, I recommend trying a different approach. You can ask your doctor about using ketoconazole shampoo for your scalp and affected areas. Apply it twice a week for 4 weeks. In addition, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected skin once daily for 2 weeks. This combination can help manage the symptoms and reduce the recurrence of seborrheic dermatitis.
