I'm really struggling with these colloid milia around my eyes. I've had them since 4th grade, and they make me feel self-conscious because they look so bad. Do you have any advice on how I can get rid of them?

Colloid milia are small, yellowish or white bumps that can appear around the eyes.

Causes

  1. Keratin buildup
  2. Sun exposure
  3. Genetics
  4. Aging

Removing Colloid Milia

  1. Professional extraction: Consult a dermatologist for safe removal.
  2. Topical retinoids: Derivatives of vitamin A can help prevent clogged pores.
  3. Exfoliation: Gentle exfoliants containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) can help remove dead skin cells.
  4. Sun protection: Wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent further damage.

Home Remedies (not recommended as sole treatment)

  1. Castor oil: May help reduce inflammation.
  2. Aloe vera: Soothes skin and reduces inflammation.
  3. Tea tree oil: Has antibacterial properties, but use with caution due to potential skin irritation.

I've noticed that my lips, especially the upper one, are quite pigmented. I'm wondering if a laser treatment would be a good option for me. Also, do you have any idea about how much it might cost?

I'm dealing with a pretty uncomfortable situation here. I recently got over jock itch by using Clotrimazol Candid dusting powder, but now I've developed a small, pea-sized pus spot in my groin area. It burst open last night, and now Ive got this exposed wound that makes it tough to walk. I tried using Dettol Antiseptic liquid to clean it up, but it sometimes has a bad smell. Im really worried about it getting infected, so Id like to know what I can do to help it heal. Any advice?

I've noticed this vertical black line that's appeared on my left thumbnail, and it's kind of worrying me. Some folks mentioned it might be due to a vitamin deficiency. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and what I should do about it?

The safe limit for alprazolam in a day varies depending on the individual, their medical condition, and the dosage form. Typically, the recommended daily dose ranges from 0.25 to 2 milligrams, taken 2 to 3 times a day . Taking 5 grams of alprazolam can be extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening. This is an excessively high dose that can cause severe symptoms, including respiratory depression, coma, and even death . Regarding drug interactions, alprazolam can interact with various medications, including paracetamol (acetaminophen). While paracetamol is generally safe to use with alprazolam, taking high doses of paracetamol can increase the risk of liver damage, especially when combined with other medications like alprazolam .
