I'm really worried because I read somewhere that this might be a symptom of skin cancer. Should we be looking into scheduling an appointment with a doctor about this?

Skin cancer is a serious condition that should not be ignored. If you notice any suspicious changes in your skin, it is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Treatment options may include surgical removal, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

I'm currently treating my acne and my doctor told me to take Azithromycin 500mg three times a week before meals, but I've been having really bad loose motions on the days I take it, like up to four times. It's making me feel like all my energy is drained. Is this a normal side effect? Should I just keep taking it or is it better to stop?

you can stop taking azithromycin . U can consult dermatologist for further management.

I've been trying to figure out which soap is better for getting clear skin - Cinthol Original or Mysore Sandal. I've heard good things about both, but I'm not sure which one would really help improve my skin the most. I'm worried about causing any irritation or breakouts. Do you have any recommendations or insights on which soap might be more beneficial for my skin type?

Cinthol Original is generally considered better for clear skin due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties, whereas Mysore Sandal soap is more geared towards moisturizing and soothing skin, making Cinthol a better choice for acne-prone or oily skin.
