I'm taking azithral 500 for my acne and it's been two days, but now I'm dealing with diarrhea because of it. Should I keep taking the antibiotics, or is it better to stop? I'm worried if there might be any other side effects too. What do you suggest?

I'm planning to attend an event soon and I'm thinking about using a cream called UltraBrite to reduce some marks and dark circles on my face. I'm only planning to use it for a week and then stop. Do you think that's okay? Could it have any side effects if I just use it for such a short time?

Can using the same towel and soap as someone with a genital herpes outbreak cause it to spread? I'm feeling anxious about it and would love some clarity.

I'm dealing with an open wound on my foot and have been using CIPLADINE Ointment to stop any bacterial infections and pus. I'm really concerned and curious if this ointment will also help the wound itself heal. Can you advise?

CIPLADINE Ointment will help keep the wound free of bacterial infections and therefore help prevent complications, but it is not primarily a wound-healing ointment. You may need additional treatment (such as moisturizing and tissue-repairing ointments) to help heal the wound itself.
