Question

I've got a pretty big boil on my left calf, and after a while, it started leaking pus and blood for around 15 days. It's been about 10 days since I began using antibiotics and ointment, as my dermatologist suggested, but it still isn't healing. I change the dressing with silver sulphadiazine gel every time. I'm really worried and wondering what might be going on. Any idea why it's not improving?

Question

I'm noticing a lot of hair fall recently and read that Evion 400 Vitamin E capsules could help. However, I've already got EGlow 400 Vitamin E capsules at home. Are these just as effective? Also, what's the right dosage for them?

Question

My 6-year-old has been dealing with this reddish allergy around the mouth for a week now. I started using Pecef Duo 50 oral suspension and Allegra Fexofenadine hydrochloride suspension. Is this the right approach, or should we be trying something else? I'm pretty worried and curious about what's causing it and how best to help my child. Any advice on this would be really appreciated!

Question

I'm dealing with lichen planus pigmentosus and have been for about two years now. Its still pretty active because I keep noticing new pigmentation, especially on my hands. I've got it on my face, neck, and arms too. I tried phototherapy, but it just made things darker, so I stopped that. I've been using Pynormax Tx Depiwhite on my face and neck, and Hydroquinone 5% solution on my hands. I'm also taking Xamic 500mg daily. How long can I keep using all these without worrying about side effects? And with the condition still active, would Glycopeel be a good option for my face and neck?
