I've got this annoying cystic acne on one of my buttocks, and it's super painful and inflamed. In the past, I've had cystic acne on my cheek and chest, and my doctor recommended Nadoxin, which worked back then. But now, using Nadoxin on this one doesn't seem to do the trick. Should I stick with Nadoxin, or do I need to try something else?

Considering the severity of your cystic acne on your buttock, it may be beneficial to switch to a more potent medication. I recommend stopping the use of Nadoxin and consulting with your doctor for a prescription of a stronger topical antibiotic like Duac gel. Additionally, an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline may be necessary to help reduce inflammation and control the infection. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions for proper dosage and duration of treatment.

View allI'm currently using minoxidil 5% for my male pattern baldness and getting PRP treatments too. But the minoxidil is giving me dandruff, and I've been washing my hair every other day. I'm wondering if it's okay or even beneficial to wash my hair every day instead. Any advice on this?
Head wash three times a day is sufficient, dandruff issues could be due to fungal infection u can use topic antifungal medications, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment..

I've been dealing with a persistent pimple on my eyebrow for about a month now. It's getting harder and seems to be growing bigger every day. Should I be worried? What might be causing this, and what can I do to treat it?
A persistent pimple on your eyebrow can be frustrating and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Infected hair follicle: A bacterial infection, such as folliculitis, can cause a hard, painful pimple. 2. Ingrown hair: An ingrown hair can cause inflammation, leading to a hard pimple. 3. Cyst or abscess: A cyst or abscess can form under the skin, causing a hard, painful lump. 4. Allergic reaction: An allergic reaction to a product, such as a hair care or makeup product, can cause a skin reaction, including a hard pimple. Home Remedies 1. Warm compresses: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times a day, to help bring the pus and bacteria to the surface. 2. Tea tree oil: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil and apply it to the affected area to help reduce inflammation and combat bacteria. 3. Aloe vera: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to help soothe and calm the skin. Medical Treatment 1. Consult a dermatologist: If the pimple persists, worsens, or becomes severely painful, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment. 2. Antibiotics or topical creams: A dermatologist may prescribe antibiotics or topical creams to help clear up the infection. 3. Drainage or extraction: In some cases, a dermatologist may need to drain or extract the pimple to help clear up the infection.

I've been using Androanagen tablets for about three years now and also applying Amexidil 5 solution to tackle my hair fall issue. It's been helping, but I'm wondering if I should keep going with it. Is there a risk of having severe side effects if I take Androanagen for too long? Any advice would be appreciated.
Consult a dermatologist to assess the risks and benefits of long-term use of Androanagen and Amexidil, as prolonged use may lead to vitamin and mineral imbalances, hormonal changes, or other side effects
