I'm wondering how long I should wait between my 56 glycolic peels? And how soon can I expect to see some results from using a glycolic peel?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Generally, the time interval between 5-6 glycolic peels should be about 2-4 weeks apart. The effects of a glycolic peel usually start to reflect within a few days to a week after the treatment. It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider for the best results.

View allI've been taking these medicines: Syntran 200, Codox, Hizet 25 mg, Lorinol 10, and using Tribex cream and Nozal cream. Now I'm breaking out in red rashes all over my body. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?
Given the red rashes after taking those medications, consider stopping them immediately and consulting a doctor as soon as possible; in the meantime, apply a cool compress or calamine lotion to soothe the skin, take an oral antihistamine like diphenhydramine to reduce itching and inflammation, and avoid scratching the affected areas to prevent further irritation.

I'm wondering if Tivenca gel can be used instead of Papulex for my face, and if it's safe to leave on overnight. Could you let me know if that's okay?
Tivenca gel is not a direct replacement for Papulex for the face. Papulex is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin and contains ingredients like nicotinamide and zinc PCA to help control excess oil production and reduce inflammation. Tivenca gel, on the other hand, is primarily used for the treatment of various skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment for your skin condition. For acne treatment, you can consider using Papulex gel on the affected areas of the face in the evening before bedtime. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of the gel and leave it on overnight for best results.

I've had these little white spots or bumps on the inside of my thighs for about 10 days now, and they're super itchy. I've tried using calamine lotion, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. They aren't exactly pimples, just these annoying white spots. Any idea what might be causing this or how I can get some relief?
Based on your description, a fungal infection like tinea cruris or irritation from sweatfriction is likely. Start with an antifungal cream and maintain good hygiene. If it doesnt improve within a week or worsens, consult a dermatologist for a precise diagnosis and stronger medications,
