I'm wondering if it's safe to take DOXT SL 100 twice a day, after breakfast and dinner, for a long time like 3 to 4 months continuously. It's been suggested for a skin issue. Do you know if there's a time limit when this medication might start causing problems? Are there any precautions I should be aware of?

I'm struggling with a serious sun tan that's really been a nightmare for me. My skin darkens very quickly whenever I'm out in the sun, and its gotten to the point where there are obvious lines between the areas that are sun-exposed and those that arent. Could you suggest a remedy for this? Also, how can I reverse the tanning effect and basically detan my skin?

SPF 30 can be used.

I'm really worried because I've had this fungal infection for about three months now and even after trying a lot of medicines, nothing seems to be helping. I'm currently taking Candiforce 200 mg. Can you advise if there's something else I should do or maybe a different treatment I should consider?

I've been dealing with these fungal infections in my groin for a while now, and they just keep coming back. I've already used about three tubes of COSVATE GM, but now my skin in that area looks all faded with these red patches underneath. I'm worriedwill my skin eventually get back to normal, or is this a lasting issue?

Lulcan cream is advised for 2 weeks once daily for local applicaion.
