I'm really worried about my 5-year-old daughter. She's got head lice and nits, and we've tried using P Scab soap with Permethrin 1, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a more effective way to get rid of them?

I've been dealing with confluent reticulated papillomatosis for about a year now, and the dermatologist I saw gave me a steroid cream. It works for a bit, but then the condition just comes back. It's pretty embarrassing, and I'm really anxious about going out because of it. Is there any permanent treatment for this condition?

I've been experiencing some intense itching all over my body and head, and it started around 1 pm. There are areas that have become swollen and red, and my fingers are really swollen too. This happened just a couple of hours after I took MOX 500 and a painkiller following a tooth extraction. Do you think the MOX could be causing this?

Allergic reactions to antibiotics like Amoxicillin can manifest as itching, swelling, and redness on the skin, as well as swelling of the fingers. It is important to stop taking MOX 500 and the painkiller immediately and seek medical attention. For the itching and swelling, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
