I've been taking doxycycline 100mg once a day for my acne, and I'm really curious if this could lead to any hair loss. Should I be concerned about this side effect?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Using doxycyclin to treat acne is generally safe for most people, but you should be aware of potential side effects like gastrointestinal issues, photosensitivity, and yeast infections. Make sure to follow your dermatologists instructions carefully and hairfall is less likely

View allI've had this white mark on my skin where I used to place a bindi, and it's been there for about a year. I stopped using the bindi because I thought the glue might be causing it, and switched to sindoor, but that didn't help either. The white spot has grown and now it itches, so I can't even use sindoor or tika on it. I'm 60 years old and I'm worried about what this could be. Could you please advise?
That could be due to allergy,visit dermatologist for appropriate management because that might need nourishing moisturiser and steroid based lotion

I'm trying to figure out which soap is better for my skin, Dermadew or Kojic, because my doctor recommended Dermadew along with Melaglow cream. I'm just wondering if I should stick with that advice or consider other options. Can you help?
Dermadew soap is generally considered better than Kojic soap due to its gentler and non-comedogenic properties, which suit most skin types, whereas Kojic soap can be harsh and drying; pairing Dermadew soap with Melaglow cream, which contains kojic acid, vitamin E, and glycerin, can help in skin brightening, hyperpigmentation reduction, and moisturizing, making it a suitable combination for skin tone evening and glow enhancement.

Hey, I've got these scars on my buttocks from boils that were treated with mupirocin ointment, but the scars just won't go away. Do you have any advice on how I can get rid of them?
To help reduce scars from boils on your buttocks, you can try using a silicone gel or vitamin E oil, which promotes healing. Gently massage the area and be patient, as scar healing takes time. If the scars persist, consult a dermatologist for further treatment options.
