I'm taking a 5mg levocet tablet for a skin reaction on my face and have been on it for 6 days now. Since I don't have any more itching or redness, I'm wondering if I should stop the medicine or keep going. My doctor originally suggested I take it for 10 days. What do you think I should do?

You can stop taking Levocet 5mg tablet since you no longer have itching or redness on your face. It is advisable to complete the course as prescribed by your doctor, which in your case is 10 days. Since you have already taken it for 6 days and your symptoms have resolved, you can safely discontinue the medication.

View allI'm trying to figure out which acne gel would be better for me. I don't have pus-filled acne, just the common kind. Should I go for clindamycin phosphate gel or nicotinamide phosphate gel?
Both 'clindamycin phosphate gel' and 'nicotinamide phosphate gel' are commonly used for acne treatment. For common acne without pus, 'nicotinamide phosphate gel' would be a better choice. You can apply a thin layer of 'nicotinamide phosphate gel' on the affected area once daily. Remember to cleanse the skin before applying the gel for better absorption and effectiveness.

I've been getting these rashes on my back every night when I lie down in bed, and it's really starting to worry me. My whole back gets covered with them, but then by the next morning, they seem to disappear. Any idea what might be causing this?

I've had these little white spots or bumps on the inside of my thighs for about 10 days now, and they're super itchy. I've tried using calamine lotion, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. They aren't exactly pimples, just these annoying white spots. Any idea what might be causing this or how I can get some relief?
Based on your description, a fungal infection like tinea cruris or irritation from sweatfriction is likely. Start with an antifungal cream and maintain good hygiene. If it doesnt improve within a week or worsens, consult a dermatologist for a precise diagnosis and stronger medications,
