Question 1

I'm dealing with Grade 1 acne around my chin, jawline, and cheeks. I'm using Clindac A1 gel in the morning for a couple of hours and Deriva Cms Gel at night, also for a few hours before washing it off. The doctor also put me on Doxy 1 ldr forte, 100 mg, twice a day for 10 days. I'm really hoping to get rid of this acne completely. Could you tell me how long it might take, and if there's a chance this will leave any scars?

Question 2

I've been taking Cetirizine and I'm starting to notice some rashes on my skin. Is it possible that I could be allergic to this antihistamine? I'm a bit worried about it. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 3

I'm having this really itchy scalp and I noticed when I scratch it with my nails, there's this white stuff that comes out and I'm losing some hair too. It's been like this for about three years now. Could you suggest any remedies to help me get my hair back and solve this scalp issue?
