I've got these pimple-like bumps on my scrotum. They don't itch or bleed, but when I saw a dermatologist, he said it's angiokeratoma. He assured me they're harmless and not sexually transmitted. He suggested laser treatment if I wanted to get them removed. I'm curious, does laser actually work to get rid of them? Also, if I go ahead with the laser treatment, will it show up in any medical tests, like when I'm applying for government jobs? Please help me understand what to expect.

I've been taking cetcipl tabs for my skin allergies, but I've missed it three times. They said it needs to be taken continuously for 30 days. What should I do now?

Since you have missed a few doses, try to continue taking the medication as prescribed for the remaining days. Take one tablet of cetcip-l (cetirizine) daily for the next 27 days to complete the 30-day course. Remember to take it at the same time each day for best results.

I have dark black pimple marks on my face and I'm really worried about them. Can you suggest some medicines or treatments to fade them? I don't want to go for facial surgery what other options do I have?

Dark pimple marks can fade with creams like hydroquinone, tretinoin, or azelaic acid; chemical peels or laser treatments are non-surgical options with good results.

I'm currently on methotrexate, 10mg per week, for my condition, and now I've been prescribed Sotret for my acne. I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe to take both at the same time. Could there be any side effects or negative interactions I should be aware of?

And also use Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
