I've been using this Kojivit Plus cream my dermatologist recommended for my dark spots, and it has kojic acid in it. I've been at it for a couple of months, but instead of getting lighter, my dark spots seem to be getting darker. Is it possible that this cream could be making them worse?

I'm dealing with a pretty bothersome staph infection on my face in a few spots and I've got some Amoxicillin 500mg at home. I'm a bit worried and really curious if this is the right antibiotic to treat a staph infection. Can Amoxicillin actually help with this?

Amoxicillin is not typically used to treat staph infections. Staphylococcus bacteria can be resistant to Amoxicillin. For staph infections, antibiotics such as Dicloxacillin or Cephalexin are more commonly prescribed. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
