I've been dealing with persistent itching between my thighs and around my private areas. I started using coconut oil, and it seems to help for a couple of days, but then the irritation comes back. It's also itchy underneath my breasts. What could be causing this, and what can I do to make it stop for good?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in those areas. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it twice a day in the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the itching and irritation.

I've been dealing with PCOS for a while and had a bad reaction to steroids in the past, so I've been cautious about medication. My dermatologist recently prescribed MINOZ OD 100 for my severe acne, and I'm a bit worried. Is it really safe for me to start taking these pills?
MINOZ OD 100 is a brand name for Minocycline, which is commonly used to treat acne. The usual dosage for Minocycline in the treatment of acne is 50-100 mg twice daily. It is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Before starting Minocycline, inform your dermatologist about your previous reaction to steroids to ensure there are no contraindications. Additionally, discuss any other medications you may be taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Regular follow-up with your dermatologist is recommended to monitor your response to the treatment and address any concerns.
