I've been struggling with really bad acne on my face, shoulders, and back for nearly a decade now. A doctor recently told me to take Azithromycin 250 tablets and use BETNOVATEN with Betamethasone and Neomycin, but I haven't noticed any changes. Could you please suggest what I should do next or if there's anything else I should try?

it seems like acne vulgaris which is aggressive,and as azithromycin is not working on you have to switch to other group of drugs, no need to worry visit yuour dermatologist for alternate approach,consume balanced diet and more fruits for a better result,personal hygiene is important.

I'm noticing these syringomas around my eyes, and it seems like they're spreading more. I'm getting a bit worried and was wondering if there's any specific food or cosmetics I should be avoiding. Any advice would be really appreciated!
Syringomas are benign growths that can appear around the eyes, and it's essential to manage them to prevent further spreading. Causes and Triggers While the exact cause of syringomas is unknown, some potential triggers and contributing factors include: 1. Genetics: Family history can play a role in the development of syringomas. 2. Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during pregnancy or menopause, may contribute to the growth of syringomas. 3. Cosmetic products: Certain skincare or makeup products can clog pores and irritate the skin, potentially exacerbating syringomas. Dietary Changes While there is no specific "syringoma diet," incorporating the following foods and nutrients may help: 1. Antioxidant-rich foods: Consume foods high in antioxidants, such as berries, leafy greens, and other fruits and vegetables, to help reduce inflammation and promote skin health. 2. Omega-3 fatty acids: Include sources of omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, walnuts, and chia seeds, to support skin health and reduce inflammation. 3. Vitamin A-rich foods: Foods rich in vitamin A, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, and dark leafy greens, can help promote skin health and reduce the appearance of syringomas.

I've been dealing with this annoying fungal infection for a while now. It started on my inner thighs and has somehow spread to my face, neck, ears, and even my buttocks. I've tried going to several good hospitals and while the medicines seem to work at first, as soon as I stop taking them, the infection comes back within a few days. I'm really worried and not sure what to do. Any advice on how I can get rid of this for good?
In this case, I would recommend trying a combination antifungal cream that contains Clotrimazole and Betamethasone. This can help to both treat the infection and reduce inflammation in the affected areas. Additionally, it's important to keep the affected areas clean and dry, as fungi thrive in warm and moist environments. Make sure to wear loose-fitting clothing and change out of sweaty clothes promptly. I hope this helps in managing your fungal infection.
