Ive been dealing with some small acne on my face and went to a dermatologist about a month ago. He prescribed some medicines after examining me, but unfortunately, the acne hasn't improved. The medications were Phexin 500 mg, Doxy 1 LR 100 mg capsules, Zitcare, and Acnovate gel. Should I keep using these or try something different? I'm just a bit worried about why they haven't worked yet and would love some advice!

View allI've been using Virovir 500 for treating my Herpes and it's helped a lot with the infection, but I still have this annoying itching above my left ear and behind my ears. Someone mentioned Sofinox might be a good solution, but I'm a bit worried. Is it safe to use it around the hair without worrying about any side effects, like hair fall? Would appreciate some guidance.
Sofinox cream contains Miconazole which is an antifungal medication. It is safe to apply around the hairs above the ear for itching. Make sure to apply a thin layer and gently massage it into the skin. There should be no significant side effects when used as directed. It is unlikely to cause hair fall later on. Apply it twice a day for 1-2 weeks for best results.

I've been using Androanagen tablets for about three years now and also applying Amexidil 5 solution to tackle my hair fall issue. It's been helping, but I'm wondering if I should keep going with it. Is there a risk of having severe side effects if I take Androanagen for too long? Any advice would be appreciated.
Consult a dermatologist to assess the risks and benefits of long-term use of Androanagen and Amexidil, as prolonged use may lead to vitamin and mineral imbalances, hormonal changes, or other side effects

Why do I itch at night only?
Itchy skin at night, or nocturnal pruritus, is a common condition typically caused by natural bodily processes, conditions that irritate the skin, or medications. Certain fungal infections also cause night time itching.
