I've just started taking doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules called doxy1 LDR FORTE for my acne, and I'm a bit unsure if this is the right treatment. Also, I'm curious about what the difference is between Doxy SL and doxy1 LDR FORTE. Can you help explain this?

I'm really worried about these red, itchy, dry scars on my face that appeared after I cried a lot the other day. It's like wherever my tears rolled down, now it's all irritated and then it turned dark and still itchy. What can I do to get rid of this?

Gently cleanse and moisturize your skin to keep it hydrated and help the healing process. Use soothing ingredients like aloe vera, and apply sunscreen daily to prevent further pigmentation issues. If the rash persists, consider using a hydrocortisone cream for a short period to reduce inflammation. Be patient, as it may take time for the dark spots to fade. With proper care, the irritation and pigmentation should heal, but if things dont improve or worsen, a consultation with a dermatologist would be helpful.

I've been dealing with jock itch and it's been really bothersome. Can Nycil powder help with this itching? If it's okay to use, how much should I apply? Also, are there any other remedies that might work?

Nycil powder can help in relieving jock itch symptoms. You can apply it to the affected area. However, for better results, you can also use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream. Apply the cream to the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothes, and avoiding sharing personal items can also help in managing jock itch.

I'm struggling with hair loss and was prescribed TricoMax to take one tablet daily. The thing is, the dermatologist didn't tell me for how long I should continue this treatment. Ive moved quite far from Hindu Rao hospital, where I got this prescription, so a follow-up isnt really possible. Could you advise me on how long I should keep taking TricoMax? Any guidance would be really helpful.

TricoMax, a supplement containing biotin, vitamin B, and keratin, is recommended for a minimum of 3-6 months to assess its effectiveness for hair loss, and it's essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance; consider consulting a new dermatologist in your current location for a follow-up and guidance on continuing or modifying the treatment.
