I've been dealing with scalp itching for a while and have been taking Minoz 100 tablets to help with it. It's frustrating because whenever I stop taking the medicine, the itching comes back after a few days. I'm worried about having to rely on these tablets forever. Is there a way to stop taking them and still manage the itching? Any advice would be appreciated.

t's great that you're looking to explore alternatives to long-term medication.
Minoz 100 tablets and scalp itching:
Minoz 100 tablets contain minocycline, an antibiotic commonly used to treat various skin conditions, including acne and rosacea. While it may help alleviate scalp itching, it's essential to address the underlying cause of the itching.
Why itching returns after stopping the medication:
The itching may return after stopping the medication due to:
- Underlying condition: The root cause of the itching, such as dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis, may still be present.
- Dependence on the medication: Your body may have become accustomed to the medication, leading to a rebound effect when it's stopped.
- Hormonal or environmental factors: Hormonal fluctuations, stress, or environmental changes can trigger itching.

View allI've got this small, round red spot on my hip, and I suspect it might be some sort of fungal infection. I've been applying a cream called Bactafuz, which has fusidic acid in it. But I'm not sure if it's really the right treatment for this. Do you think I'm using the right cream for this kind of infection, or should I be trying something else? It's been worrying me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

I've been dealing with pimples that were starting to heal, but it's been really slow. They began to dry up, so I tried applying some moisturizer and rubbed it a bit, thinking it would help. But now it's worse because I rubbed too hard, and my skin started oozing this watery liquid. By the next morning, it developed pus. I went to see a doctor, and they recommended I use T BACT cream. Do you think that'll actually help? I'm kind of worried about what to do next.
Refrain from rubbing or picking at the area to avoid further irritation or damage. Let the skin heal naturally.After the cream has been absorbed, you can apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. This will help prevent further dryness and irritation.T-Bact (Mupirocin) should help treat the infection and promote healing. It's essential to use it as directed by your doctor and avoid further irritation or picking at the skin. If the situation does not improve or worsens, seek follow-up care from your doctor.
