I've had these stitch marks on my hand for about three years now, and it's starting to bother me because everyone notices them and asks about it. Is there a way to get rid of them?

Stitch marks can be treated with the help of topical creams containing silicone gel, such as Mederma. You can apply a thin layer of Mederma on the stitch marks twice a day for several months to see improvement. Additionally, you can also consider laser therapy or microdermabrasion treatments to further reduce the appearance of the scar.

I'm taking fluconazole tablets, specifically Fluka 150mg, once a week for three months to deal with my acne. I'm worried, could this medication cause any side effects for me? If there are any I should know about, please tell me.

Fluconazole is of no use to u dear Acne at your age are very common. Don't worry regarding the same. Start applying clindamycin cream in the day and benzoyl peroxide in the evening for the same along with doxycycline capsules 100 mg twice daily and you will be all fine within 10 days.
