I'm wondering if I can use candid dusting powder as a replacement for candid b cream. Is it okay to switch them up, or is there a better alternative you would recommend? I'm curious if there's any major difference between the two that I should be aware of.

It's great to hear that you're experiencing improvement with medication.

To avoid surgery, consider the following:

Continue conservative management:

Physical therapy: Engage in exercises that strengthen your back and core muscles.

Pain management: Continue your current medication regimen under your doctor's guidance.

Lifestyle modifications: Maintain a healthy weight, improve your posture, and avoid heavy lifting.

Alternative treatments:

Epidural injections: Steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Chiropractic care: Spinal manipulation and adjustments can help alleviate pressure on the affected discs.

Monitor your condition:

Regular follow-ups with your doctor to assess your progress.

Keep track of your symptoms, pain levels, and any changes.

Discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific condition.

I've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis for around 6 years now, ever since I started taking some antibiotics, and it's been really tough. My lips get all flaky and dry, and the skin turns white when it hits water. There's even this white vermilion line forming where my lips touch. I'm really curious if there's any kind of treatment that can help with this. Any advice would be great!

I've noticed this small hole in my skin, kind of looks like a needle prick. It's not red, but it feels tender to touch, and there's a bump under the skin. When I first saw it, the area was warm. There's no pus, but the bump feels pretty hard. It's not really painful, but it does hurt if I press on it. I'm a bit worried. Do you think this is something I should check out?

That could be insect bite or so..,no need to worry it will subside in a day,if it starts itching or becoming worse,visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,you dont attempt to scratch it or squeeze it.
