I've been having some issues with acne, especially whiteheads, and I think it might be a side effect from the B12 injections I had. The injections were Nervijen Plus and had ingredients like Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin, and Niacinamide. I got two shots, one on December 25th, 2017, and the other on January 1st, 2018. I'm wondering how long this acne could last? Every morning there's a new whitehead popping up. It's not as bad as it was, but it's still pretty annoying. Is there anything I can do or take to make this stop?

The acne caused by the B12 injection should subside on its own within 2-3 months, and to manage it, maintain good skincare habits, use acne treatments, avoid picking or popping whiteheads, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

Ever since I used Veet hair removal cream on my bikini area a few weeks back, my vagina's been feeling really inflamed and irritated. Things improved a bit once the hair grew back, but now I'm still super itchy around the outer labia at night, even though everything seems normal during the day with no weird discharge. I'm trying hard not to scratch so I don't make it worse, but it's really messing with my sleep. What should I do?

Lulican cream for local application for 2 weeks and tab levocetrizine 10 mg for atleast 5 days is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with scabies, and the itching is driving me insane. It's pretty much everywhere on my body. What can I do to ease this itching? It's becoming unbearable.

I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with scabies; I understand how uncomfortable and frustrating the itching can be. It's important to get treatment as soon as possible, typically with prescribed creams or oral medication, to eliminate the mites and soothe the irritation. If you haven't yet, I recommend consulting your doctor for the best course of action.
