I'm really worried about my roommate who got a spider bite and now has red spots, rashes, and is itching all over. He's getting treated, but I'm concerned if this is something contagious. Do I need to take any precautions to avoid getting it myself?

I've been dealing with a persistent fever for the past four days, and then I started getting blisters all over my bodyon my face, scalp, chest, arms, and legs. A local doctor said it's chickenpox and gave me triz valtovol 500mg and voltaflam 50mg tablets. I started taking them twice daily since last night, and the blisters are turning black and hurting less. I think this might mean they're healing. But now, I'm concerned because I'm getting tiny blisters on my penis and glans, and it's worrying me. I'm not sure if this is from the chickenpox or a side effect of the medication. The blisters are small, but they hurt a little when I pee. Can you help me figure out what's going on? Let me know if you need more details.

I'm considering getting another chemical peel for my acne because a doctor recommended it and also suggested using a skin lightening cream. I'm curious if it's okay to go ahead with both treatments. Would you say that using the skin whitening cream and continuing with the chemical peel is a safe and effective plan, or should I be concerned about any side effects or issues? What do you think I should do?

-Yes, you can continue with the chemical peels and skin-lightening cream if recommended by your doctor. Follow their advice closely, use sunscreen daily, and monitor your skin's response to avoid irritation.

I've been on isotretinoin for a few months, and I'm in my 5th month now. My doctor upped my dose to 20 mg twice daily 'cause it wasn't working much initially. But now, after about 45 days, my hair's gotten thinner, and when I was checking out some videos on isotretinoin's side effects, someone mentioned it could cause erectile dysfunction. Since hearing that, I've started experiencing it too, and it's been happening for the past 5 days. Its stressing me out and affecting my mood. I havent told my doctor about the erection issue, but my dose got cut back to just 20 mg a day. Besides that, I'm also dealing with a stomach ache, digestion issues, testicular discomfort, and dryness in my throat, eyes, and lips. Im super confused and anxious about continuing isotretinoin. Could it really be the cause? What should I do? Your guidance could really help me out.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
