I'm worried because I've been using Melacare for the last four years, and now my face has become really oily. I'm planning to stop using it, but I'm not sure what to do. Melacare hasn't given me any allergies, but I want to reduce the oiliness. Could you suggest how I can stop this oily production on my face?

you cannot stop it abruptly, wean it off slowly in two weeks by applying alternate days for a week and two days once in a week and soo,for alternate suggestion visit your dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

View allI've noticed some black lines appearing on a few of my fingernails over the past few months, and now they're on about two or three fingers. I'm pretty worried and curious about what this might mean. Can you shed some light on what could be causing these lines and how I might be able to treat them? I'd really appreciate any advice you can give.

I've been using Candid cream and Clocip powder, but I keep getting this itchy sensation again. It feels good when I scratch it, but then it gets really irritating. Can you recommend a good ointment or prescription I could try?
Consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole, Miconazole, or Terbinafine, and for itching, apply a topical steroid cream like Hydrocortisone; also, try an anti-itching cream like Sarna or Calamine; if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for a prescription and proper diagnosis, as recurring itching and irritation may indicate an underlying skin condition.

I'm really worried about my husband. He was diagnosed with dengue and the doctor prescribed paracetamol and Omnix 200 DT. But now hes got all this redness and swelling on his face, and weird bumps on his tongue and neck. It seems pretty serious to me. What should we do next, and what kind of doctor should we be reaching out to for this?
