I've been given doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus for my acne and I'm really unsure about how many capsules I'm supposed to take each day. Could you help me understand the right dosage and the best times to take them?

I've been having this really annoying itching problem all over my body that only seems to happen at night. I saw a doctor about it and took the medication they prescribed, but the itching came back. I'm taking cetirizine to try and help with the symptoms, but it's still bothering me a lot. I recently moved to Chennai about 5 months ago. Could this change be affecting me somehow, or is there something else I should consider? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm really worried because I keep getting these ringworms and pustules only on my face, especially in the summer. I've had ringworm three different times in the last six years, but always just on my face and not elsewhere on my body. I'm not sure why this keeps happening. Could it be something specific to facial skin, or maybe it's related to something else I'm not aware of? Any advice on how to deal with this would be really appreciated.
