I've been using Panderm Plus for a couple of years and recently took a break from it. Almost immediately, I started getting pimples. I checked in with a doctor who recommended some tablets. I'm curiouswhat might the side effects be, how can I avoid them, and how long might it take for my skin to clear up?

I've been dealing with this stubborn acne on the back of my head for a while now. I tried taking Cifran for a month and then switched to Droxyl, using beta gel at the same time, but nothing seems to be working. The acne is even spreading to my forehead, and my skin is turning red. What could be going wrong, and what should I do next?

Visit your Physician for appropriate management

I got bitten by some insect on my thigh on Tuesday, and it started to swell, so I went to a general physician who assured me there was nothing to worry about and gave me a tablet. But today, it's hurting again, and when I used a pin to check the area, a lot of blood suddenly came out. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Could you please advise?

You may have inadvertently drained an abscess or a hematoma that formed as a result of the insect bite, and while it may provide temporary relief, it's essential to consult the general physician again or visit an urgent care center to assess the wound, prevent infection, and receive proper treatment, such as antibiotics or further drainage, to promote healing and avoid complications.
