I've had these papillae on the left side of my tongue for about a month now, with four of them there. I started taking a daily Zincovit tablet around 15 days ago, but I haven't noticed any improvement. They don't hurt or anything, but I'm just concerned. Could you advise on what might be going on or suggest something that could help?

If your tongues papillae are not painful and you're not experiencing any other symptoms, it's usually not a cause for concern, but follow-up with a healthcare provider can help to reassure you and ensure that nothing more serious is going on.

I'm 21 and I'm really struggling with a lot of pimples and acne right now, which I think might be because of my body having too much internal heat. They're popping up around my nose, near my lips, on my forehead, and cheeks. The ones on my forehead are especially frustrating because they swell up but dont really have any seed or pus in them. Any advice on what might be causing this or how I can treat it?

I'm starting to notice these red spots on my neck, shoulders, chest, and even a few on my stomach. They're really itchy and seem to get worse when I'm out in the sun. The skin around these spots is also feeling rough and dry. They're spreading all over and I'm getting worried. What could this be?

I'm experiencing some discomfort and pain when I touch the lower right side of my rib bones, and it's been going on for almost 12 days now. On top of that, I've also been having some nosebleeds. I've been taking TretinIso 20 capsules for about 7 months to deal with acne on my face, as my doctor suggested. I'm really worriedcould these capsules be causing the pain in my ribs or the nosebleeds? What do you think is going on?

Yes. Stop the medicine for time being. Do you have Acidity or constipation problems ? What are your vitamin D levels ? Any cough or congestion?
