I'm really worried because I keep getting these ringworms and pustules only on my face, especially in the summer. I've had ringworm three different times in the last six years, but always just on my face and not elsewhere on my body. I'm not sure why this keeps happening. Could it be something specific to facial skin, or maybe it's related to something else I'm not aware of? Any advice on how to deal with this would be really appreciated.

View allI've got a bit of a dilemma here. When I was a kid, I came down with typhoid, and my doctor had me take roxithromycin. Not long after, I noticed a little white spot on my skin and ever since then, I've avoided that medication. Now, I'm down with fever, cough, and a cold, and another doctor has prescribed me roxid 150. I'm really worried about taking it because of my past experience. Do you think it's safe for me to take, or should I consider an alternative? Would love some guidance here.
Roxid 150 is also a form of Roxithromycin, so it may not be suitable for you if you had a reaction to it in the past. An alternative antibiotic that can be considered for your current symptoms of fever, cough, and cold is Azithromycin. You can take Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I'm curious about using Lumivoid skin lightening cream for pimple marks. Is it safe to use? And how long does it usually take to see results on those marks? Can you let me know more about it?
Lumivoid skin lightening cream contains hydroquinone which is commonly used to lighten dark areas on the skin such as age spots, melasma, and pimple marks. It is generally safe to use on pimple marks, but it is important to use it as directed by your healthcare provider to avoid any potential side effects. The time it takes for Lumivoid cream to work on pimple marks can vary from person to person. In general, you may start to see some improvement in the appearance of pimple marks within a few weeks of regular use. However, it may take several weeks to months to see significant results. It is important to be patient and consistent with the application of the cream for best results.
