I've been struggling with these large red acnes or allergic bumps on my forehead lately. I tried using Castor NF with ofloxacin and terbinafine clobetasol, but they haven't helped at all. The bumps are really painful to touch, and they're not just staying on my foreheadthey're spreading to other parts of my face. I'm starting to feel really frustrated as they seem to be growing more. When I use Castor NF, they shrink a little bit, but not enough to make a difference. What could be going on, and how can I get them to stop spreading?

I'm thinking about stopping my glutathione tablets, but I'm worried my skin might return to how it looked before I started taking them. Will the effects stick around if I stop, or do I need to continue these tablets forever? Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of?

If you stop taking glutathione tablets, the effects on your skin may gradually diminish and return to how it was before taking the tablets. It is not necessary to take the tablets for a lifetime to maintain the effects. As for side effects, some individuals may experience side effects such as stomach upset or allergic reactions. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection and have been using tetmosol soap, but nothing else seems to work. Could you suggest any other options or steps I might take to improve the situation?

To manage fungal infections, continue using Tetmosol soap, which contains clotrimazole, an antifungal agent; however, to enhance treatment and prevent recurrence, also consider: keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting cotton clothing, applying an antifungal cream or powder, and consulting a dermatologist for further guidance and evaluation
