I've been taking Becadexamine multivitamins for the past three weeks and I've noticed my skin has become fairer. Is this typical? Is that how multivitamins usually work? Also, when's the best time to take them?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is not common for multivitamins to directly cause changes in skin color. Becadexamine is a multivitamin supplement that contains essential vitamins and minerals. The change in your skin color may be due to other factors or could be unrelated to the multivitamin intake. The right time to take multivitamins is usually in the morning with breakfast to help ensure optimal absorption.

View allI'm trying to find Venusia cream for my dry skin, but it's nowhere to be found. I came across something called Venusia Max. Are they the same, or should I keep searching for the original Venusia cream? I'm a bit confused about what to do next.
Yes both are same you can use it.

I've recently noticed some changes around the head of my penis. Last month, I had a shiny rash that went away on its own, but the head stayed red. There are also these pink papules on the penis ring, and my foreskin has been really sticky with some white stuff inside. I wash with soap every day, but now the skin on the head has become erosive and starts peeling. Im also using coconut oil, but now even the tip is peeling. What's strange is that it doesn't itch or hurt, and theres no sore or lesion. What could be going on?
Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you experienced a self-limiting condition, such as: 1. Irritant contact dermatitis (reaction to soap) 2. Balanitis (inflammation of the penis head) 3. Posthitis (inflammation of the foreskin) To promote healing and prevent future occurrences: 1. Discontinue using harsh soaps; switch to gentle, fragrance-free cleansers. 2. Apply coconut oil or a topical emollient to soothe the skin. 3. Avoid excessive washing or rubbing. 4. Consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist for proper evaluation and guidance. In the meantime, maintain good genital hygiene: 1. Clean the area with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser. 2. Pat dry; avoid rubbing. 3. Apply coconut oil or a topical emollient to keep the skin moisturized.

I've been dealing with this frustrating issue of having large, dry pimples mostly on the left side of my face. They sometimes hurt a bit if I press on them, and they're pretty stubbornthey never really go away completely and seem to come back over and over, taking ages to heal. I keep my face clean with face washes and mild soaps, and I don't usually use any creams or moisturizers. My job keeps me indoors, so I'm not really exposed to things like sun or pollution. I've been using Surfaz SN cream, which worked before but now doesn't seem to do much. Do you have any suggestions for creams or skin lotions that could help clear up my skin?
Seems like you are dealing with persistent acne on the left side of your face. Since Surfaz SN cream is no longer effective, I recommend trying a combination treatment. You can use a combination of Clindamycin gel in the morning and Adapalene gel at night. Apply a thin layer of Clindamycin gel in the morning after washing your face, and then apply Adapalene gel at night before bedtime. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day as these medications can increase sensitivity to the sun. Additionally, continue with your good hygiene practices and consider incorporating a gentle moisturizer into your routine to prevent dryness. If the acne persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
