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.

I'm using Biluma cream for the past couple of days, and it's causing red patches on my cheeks. Is this cream actually good for dark circles and skin whitening? How should I be using it? I'm a bit concerned and could really use some advice.

Biluma cream contains ingredients like Kojic acid, Vitamin C, and Niacinamide, which can help with skin brightening and dark circles. _Red Patches on Cheeks:_ 1. _Allergic reaction_: Stop using the cream immediately. 2. _Skin sensitivity_: Reduce frequency of application or dilute the cream with a moisturizer. _Tips for Using Biluma Cream:_ 1. _Patch test_: Apply a small amount on a discreet area before using on your face. 2. _Start with a low frequency_: Apply every alternate day and gradually increase frequency. 3. _Use a small amount_: Avoid over-application, which can irritate the skin. 4. _Moisturize_: Apply a gentle moisturizer after using Biluma cream to soothe the skin. If the red patches persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for guidance.

I'm really worried about my friend because they keep getting these painful pocks between their chest area. It's been happening quite frequently, and the last one was really big and hurt a lot. This has been going on for the past 23 weeks. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what we should do about it?

Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
