I'm really wondering about this ret h c cream I've been using for a few months. It gave me good results initially, so I stopped using it, but now I'm thinking of starting it again. Is it safe to reuse, and are there any side effects I should be worried about for my face? Id appreciate any advice.

View allI'm a little puzzled about how to take Limcee, the vitamin C chewable my dermatologist suggested. Should I be chewing it or is it better if I suck on it? What's the best way to actually get the most benefit from it?
For Limcee, a vitamin C chewable tablet, chewing it is recommended over sucking, as chewing helps to break down the tablet and release the vitamin C, allowing for better absorption in the digestive system, whereas sucking may lead to swallowing the tablet whole, potentially reducing its effectiveness.

I'm really struggling with a skin fungal infection that's affecting different parts of my body, even my nails. There's this thick, whitish growth on my toenail and I've used all sorts of antifungal creams for what feels like forever, but nothing seems to fully get rid of it. It's really frustrating. Do you have any advice on what might work or why this is happening?
Having skin fungal infection in different areas of your body, including your nails (whitish thick nail of your foot), can be challenging to treat. To effectively treat fungal infections, especially on the nails, oral antifungal medications are often necessary. I recommend speaking with your doctor about prescribing you oral antifungal medication such as Terbinafine. Additionally, using topical antifungal creams like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) or Miconazole (brand name Monistat) can help in conjunction with the oral medication. Remember to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.

I've got these white patches on my knees and elbows, and even after three months of medical treatment, they seem to be spreading. I'm using Tab.vitibex twice a day and applying melgain lotion twice daily too. My diet includes sour and spicy foods. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could it be something I'm missing, or should I be adjusting my treatment or diet somehow? Any advice would be really appreciated!
It seems like you're being treated for vitiligo, a condition causing white patches. Despite 3 months of treatment, the patches are increasing. Concerns with your current treatment and diet: 1. *Treatment duration*: 3 months might not be sufficient for noticeable improvement. 2. *Diet*: Consuming sour and spicy foods may exacerbate vitiligo symptoms. Consider avoiding or reducing these foods. 3. *Sun protection*: Are you using sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily? Recommendations: 1. *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your concerns and the increasing patches. 2. *Dietary changes*: Consider a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. 3. *Sun protection*: Ensure you're using adequate sunscreen and protective clothing. 4. *Alternative treatments*: Your doctor may suggest other options, such as phototherapy or immunomodulators. Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to reassess your treatment plan.
