I've had alopecia universalis for a year and my doctor prescribed decdan 0.5 to take every weekend 5 on Sunday and 5 on Saturday. But I'm getting ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery on my knee next week. Should I keep taking the medicine or stop it before the surgery? I'm a bit worried about how it might affect the procedure or recovery.

View allI have a boil on my left thigh and I'm taking doxycycline with cipladine ointment but no pus is coming out. Do I really need to get a small cut from the doctor? I'm nervous about the procedure is there any other way to treat this without surgery?
If boil doesn’t drain with antibiotics, minor incision may be needed—don’t delay if swelling increases.

I'm dealing with a persistent fungal infection on my face that's been bothering me for about a year. I was on itraconazole capsules from Dr. Reddy's and clotrimazole ointment for three months, and it seemed to clear up for a bit. But as soon as I finished the medication, it came back within a week. I'm an MBBS student at PIMS in Jalandhar, and I'm wondering if there are any injectable options available for this?
You have to continue the same treatment for a longer dulation like 45 -60 days,visit Dematologist for the same

Hey, so I've been dealing with this acne hyperpigmentation and scars issue, and back in February, a dermatologist gave me two creamsdepiwhite and cutisoftfor 20 days. But I kind of messed up by not going back for a follow-up and just kept using them for about seven months. When I finally went back, he said my skin got darker and extra sensitive, leading to more pimples. Now he's given me kozimax and glocin gel. I'm really curious if glocin gel helps fade scars or if it just targets the bacteria. Also, is having regular acne something that could hint at liver damage?
Thats Acne Vulgaris,needs treatment with antibiotics,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management and refrain from squeezing them and maintain personal hygiene yes your lotion would definitely work for your concern
