I've been having this annoying allergy on my face for the past couple of days. It all started after I used this Lotus sunscreen with SPF 40. My skin just started itching and it feels like an allergy. I'm wondering if it's okay to take Avil or levocetirizine to help with this? Any advice would be appreciated.

-Its possible that the sunscreen triggered the allergy. Both Avil and Levocetirizine can help with itching, but Levocetirizine is usually preferred as it's less sedating. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting a doctor for a proper assessme

I'm considering using Evion 400 capsules on my face every other day. I usually mix it with almond oil or aloe vera gel. Does this sound like a good routine? Is there anything I should be worried about?

Using Evion 400 (Vitamin E) on the face can be beneficial for skin health. However, it is important to note that applying it directly from the capsule may be too concentrated for some individuals and could potentially cause skin irritation. It is recommended to mix the contents of the capsule with almond oil or aloe vera gel before applying it to the face. This can help dilute the Vitamin E and make it safer for topical use. You can continue using it every alternate day, but if you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, please discontinue use.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection on my penis and FourDerm cream helped clear it up in just a few days, but now I have about 23 spots left. One of them is a noticeably bigger red spot. Are these spots part of the healing process, or should I be worried? How long might it take for my skin to look normal again?

Atleast 4-6 weeks..

I'm having a puzhuvettu issue with both my head and beard that's been really bothering me for the past three months. Can you give me some advice on what I should do to fix this problem?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
