I'm wondering if doxy 1 capsules are actually effective for treating acne? I'm a bit worried because I've been taking them for 12 days now as my dermatologist prescribed, but I'm not seeing any improvement. Should I keep taking these for the full month as advised? How long does this medication typically take to show results?

I'm about to get married soon and I'm really worried about these lipomas I have on my body, just like my dad had. Can they spread to someone else, like through air, water, or even sexually? I'm kind of freaking out about the possibility of passing them to my future wife. Could really use some clarity on this.

Lipomas are non-cancerous growths of fat cells under the skin. They are not contagious and cannot spread to another person through any means, including air, water, or sexual activity. Lipomas are typically harmless and do not require treatment unless they are causing symptoms. If you or your wife have any concerns about lipomas or any other health issues, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
