I'm using BTex for my jock itch, but the itching just won't stop. Should I stick with it for a bit longer, or would it be better to get it checked out?

Despite of taking the medicine if it's not coming down, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've been taking cetcipl tabs for my skin allergies, but I've missed it three times. They said it needs to be taken continuously for 30 days. What should I do now?

Since you have missed a few doses, try to continue taking the medication as prescribed for the remaining days. Take one tablet of cetcip-l (cetirizine) daily for the next 27 days to complete the 30-day course. Remember to take it at the same time each day for best results.

I'm really worried about my hair fall issue. I was diagnosed with something called telogen effluvium and my doctor recommended biotee plus for three months. But even after taking it all this time, I'm not seeing any improvement. Is it safe to keep taking the biotin supplement for longer? How long can I actually continue with this?

Hi there, I've got a mole on my face that's been bothering me. It seems to be growing and there's even a hair coming out of it. I've also had a couple of keloids before, right on my sternum, which I got after shaving my chest about five years ago. They're the only ones I've ever had, so I'm not sure if I have a tendency for keloids or if it was a one-time thing. I'm super worried about the possibility of getting a keloid if I decide to remove the mole. What do you think the chances are of that happening? I've been reading up on mole removal methods and I'm stuck between choosing a complete excision or a radiofrequency shave excision. Do you have any thoughts on which might be better, especially in terms of reducing the risk of keloid development? Also, with the radiofrequency shave excision, is there a chance the mole might come back? Any advice would be really appreciated!

I recommend opting for radiofrequency shave excision for removing the mole on your face, as this method typically results in less scarring compared to complete mole excision. The chances of developing a keloid in place of the mole are relatively low, especially since you mentioned that you have not experienced keloids in other areas of your body. The risk of recurrence after radiofrequency shave excision is minimal, and this method is generally safe and effective for removing moles. It's understandable that you are concerned about developing keloids, but based on your history and the location of the mole, the likelihood of this happening is low. If you have any specific concerns or questions, feel free to ask.
