I've been dealing with some itchy spots around my bikini line and butt, and I've tried using itch guard cream and candid dusting powder, which helped at first, but the itching keeps coming back. Just the other day, I noticed I have some ringworm on my thighs too. I'm really frustrated and worried about why these things keep happening. What can I do to stop this once and for all?

You've been taking Rablet-D (Rabeprazole + Domperidone) for 20 years to manage severe burning and acidity after food. Despite this, you still experience bloating, which you suspect might be due to a wheat allergy.

Considerations

Wheat allergy or intolerance: It's possible that you have a wheat allergy or intolerance, which could be contributing to your bloating.

Long-term PPI use: Taking Rabeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) for an extended period can lead to:

Reduced stomach acid production

Potential impact on nutrient absorption (e.g., vitamin B12, iron)

Increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures

Domperidone concerns: Domperidone, an anti-emetic and prokinetic agent, has been linked to:

Increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias and QT prolongation

Potential interactions with other medications

I'm really struggling with acne, and it's been going on for about two years now. It's like, just when I think it's getting better and clears up, it flares back up and gets worse again after some days. It's so frustrating. I really need some advice or help on this. Why does this keep happening, and what can I do to finally get rid of it?

-It sounds like you're dealing with persistent acne. I recommend a consistent skincare routine with gentle products, and consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, like topical or oral medications, to manage flare-ups.
