I've been bitten by an insect and the area is really itchy and red. There's no swelling, but the skin looks reddish and a bit blackish. I've been using T Bact ointment, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be applying. Any advice on what ointments might help?

I've recently stopped taking Diane 35, which I used for about 6 months to manage my acne. Now, I'm experiencing a lot of hair fall and I'm really concerned. Could this be a side effect of stopping the medication? How long should I expect this hair loss to continue? It's really worrying me.

I'm experiencing some dryness at the tip of my penis and I heard Candid lotion might help. Do you think this is a good solution, or is there a better medicine you would recommend?

Candid lotion is an antifungal medication, but it may not be the best choice for dryness on the penis tip. Better Alternatives for Dryness on the Penis Tip 1. Hydrocortisone cream or ointment: Over-the-counter (OTC) hydrocortisone creams or ointments can help soothe and moisturize dry skin on the penis tip. 2. Vaseline or petroleum jelly: Applying a thin layer of Vaseline or petroleum jelly can help lock in moisture and protect the skin from further dryness. 3. Cetaphil cream or moisturizer: Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil can help hydrate and soothe dry skin on the penis tip. 4. Urea-based creams: Urea-based creams, such as Urea cream or Carmol 40, can help moisturize and soften dry skin.

I'm dealing with acne and was wondering if taking azithral 500mg would help clear it up. Is this a good idea or should I consider something else?

I don't recommend using Azithral 500mg tablet for acne treatment. Instead, you can try using topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. For severe cases, you may consider consulting a dermatologist who can prescribe oral medications like isotretinoin.
