I'm taking ivermectin for a mild scabies issue and I'm supposed to take the medication on Wednesday. But I'm also planning to drink quite a bit of alcohol on Saturday. Do you think the alcohol will affect anything with my treatment?

Ivermectin is usually well-tolerated, but consuming alcohol while taking it may increase the risk of certain side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and headache. It is generally recommended to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on ivermectin treatment. If you do choose to drink alcohol, it is best to do so in moderation.

I'm a 25-year-old guy and I've been using Dermadew soap for a while now. I'm wondering if it's safe for long-term use. Are there any side effects I should worry about? Also, if you could recommend a good soap for skin whitening, that would be great.

I've got this bump or blister near the upper part of my butt crack. It feels like one of those stubborn pimples that won't pop, and it's really uncomfortable when I'm sitting or lying down. I'm pretty busy right now, so finding time to see a doctor is tough. Is there any easy home remedy I could try? Also, do you think this could be a reaction to something I ate?
