I've been getting pimples every month of my menstrual cycle, and it's always on the right cheek, on the same spot. It's really frustrating because it's left huge marks on my skin. My doctor suggested I take Microbact 500 mg three times a week, use Clarion face wash, apply Glocin gel in the morning all over my face, and Sagium gel at night. But even after three weeks of sticking to this treatment, new pimples keep popping up, and it feels like they're even worse now. What should I do?

Despite treatment, persistent pimples on your right cheek, coinciding with your menstrual cycle, may indicate hormonal acne; consider discussing the following with your doctor: adjusting medication dosage or frequency, adding hormonal treatments like birth control pills or spironolactone, and incorporating spot treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to target individual pimples; also, maintain good skincare habits, including gentle exfoliation and sun protection.

I've been dealing with this itchy rash in my groin area for a couple of weeks now. It's all red and I found some patches too. I tried using Listerine Mouthwash like I read online that it might help, but I haven't seen much improvement. Do you think I should wait it out a bit longer or is it better to go see a dermatologist? What do you suggest?

I'm wondering if it's okay to use Evion 400 capsules together with Parachute Therapy scalp hair oil every day to keep from going bald, especially in the middle of my head. Also, I'm taking Gemcalds daily and AtorlipF for cholesterol. What are your thoughts on preventing hair loss while on these?

Using Evion 400 capsule along with Parachute Therapy scalp hair oil can be beneficial for preventing hair loss. Evion 400 contains Vitamin E which is good for hair health.
