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?

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 had jock itch about 45 months ago, and even though I've recovered, I sometimes still get an itchy feeling around my groin. I've been using absorbent powder there every day. Is it safe to keep doing that? Could using the powder daily cause any long-term issues?

I've been dealing with persistent redness on my face ever since I used Elosone HT. It's been a long 9 months and I've seen multiple doctors without much luck. They've prescribed various treatments like Benzoyl peroxide gel, Doxybond LB tablets, Clobetamil, aloe vera gel, and Salicylic acid creams, among others. I've also tried Metrogel, Calapure lotion, and Epilyno lotion. Despite all these efforts, the redness still hasn't completely gone away. I'm really worried and could use some help figuring out an effective treatment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
clinsol gel for local application is advised..

I'm a bit concerned about an oval blackish-brown spot I've noticed on the glans of my penis. It doesn't hurt, and the borders are irregular, and its not elevated. I honestly can't remember when it first showed up, but I discovered it after I got circumcised because I had phimosis. Should I be worried about this spot, or is it something that can happen post-circumcision?
