I've been dealing with acne and my dermatologist recommended a doxycycline lactic bacillus tablet for 60 days to take at night. I'm just wondering, is it actually safe to be on this medication for such a long duration?

Using doxycycline for 60 days to treat acne is generally safe for most people, but you should be aware of potential side effects like gastrointestinal issues, photosensitivity, and yeast infections. Make sure to follow your dermatologists instructions carefully

View allI'm dealing with some hair fall issues and started using Indulekha hair oil. I've heard that adding vitamin E capsules to hair oil might help, and I'm considering trying it. Can I mix vitamin E capsules directly into the Indulekha bottle and store it like that? If it's okay to do, how many capsules would you recommend for the whole bottle?
-Yes, you can mix Vitamin E capsules into Indulekha hair oil. For a standard 100ml bottle, 2-3 capsules should be enough. Use it regularly for better hair health, but remember to monitor for any irritation.

What should I do if I've put Dettol liquid directly on my pennies? I did this last night, applying it on both the outside and inside skin, and now I've got a burning sensation. Can you help me with how to deal with this?
Applying Dettol liquid directly on the penis can cause irritation and a burning sensation on the skin. It is important to wash off the Dettol immediately with plenty of water to minimize further irritation. You can apply a soothing cream containing aloe vera or calamine lotion to help calm the skin and reduce the burning sensation. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm 31 and recently started getting pimples on my face that come and go. They pop up on my nose and cheeks mainly, and they're kind of white. If I press them, a liquid comes out, and they usually disappear after about three days. I've never really used soap on my face, and I don't engage in activities like watching porn or masturbating every day. I'm just wondering why this is happening at my age. Can you help me figure it out?
Possible Causes of Pimples 1. Hormonal fluctuations: Changes in hormone levels, even in adulthood, can lead to acne. 2. Stress: Stress can increase cortisol levels, contributing to acne. 3. Diet: Consuming dairy products, refined carbohydrates, or foods high in sugar can trigger acne. 4. Genetics: Family history can play a role in acne development. 5. Environmental factors: Exposure to pollution, humidity, or certain chemicals can contribute to acne. White Pimples with Liquid Discharge The pimples you described, with a white color and liquid discharge, might be: 1. Pustules: A type of acne lesion filled with pus. 2. Milia: Small, white bumps caused by keratin buildup. 3. Sebaceous filaments: Naturally occurring, small bumps on the nose and cheeks. Next Steps 1. Consult a dermatologist: For personalized guidance and treatment. 2. Maintain good skincare habits: Cleanse your face gently with a non-comedogenic cleanser, and moisturize regularly. 3. Avoid picking or squeezing pimples: To prevent further inflammation and scarring. 4. Consider lifestyle changes: Reduce stress, eat a balanced diet, and stay hydrated.
