Question

I've been dealing with acne since I was 15, and it's gotten worse now that I'm 20. I tried some Ayurvedic treatments, but they didn't really help. A dermatologist recommended clarithromycin and tretinoin cream, which showed minimal improvement for a bit, but now my acne's back and even worse. Is there any real, lasting solution out there?

Question

I've been struggling with really bad acne rosacea for the past 67 years and it hasn't improved with any of the treatments I've tried in Allopathy. I'm curious to know if there's any way homeopathy could help. Do you think it might be a better option for me?

Question

I've noticed that my fingertips have become really sensitive, and now my sense of touch feels dulled. I can still feel things, just not as sharply as before. Also, my fingers and hands are super dry and wrinkled, almost like they've been in water too long, and this has been going on for about two weeks. I've tried using lotion multiple times a day, but the wrinkles just won't go away. It's happening on both hands. What could this be?

Question

I'm using Onabet cream for my tinea incognito, and I'm noticing that the groin area is getting more red, plus there's this burning and itching sensation after I apply it. Is this a normal reaction, or should I be worried about it?
