I've been dealing with really dry skin on my face and some pretty intense dark circles. There's also this dark line across my nose and a patch near it that just won't go away. I'm already on a six-month treatment for pimples that my doctor assured would help with the dark spots too, but I'm not actually seeing any change. What should I do?

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.

How long does scabies take to clear up? I've used permethrin cream for two nights straight, but these itchy rashes are driving me nuts. How can I get rid of them quickly?
-It usually takes 1-2 weeks for scabies to clear up after using permethrin cream. The itching may persist for a few days even after treatment, but if symptoms continue beyond 2 weeks, consult your doctor for further care.
