I've noticed my tongue has turned white and looks coated over the past week. I tried looking it up online and experimented with some home remedies like brushing with salt and gargling with water, but nothing seems to work. Can you recommend other methods that might help?

I've been dealing with keloids and recently got tricort injections. It seems like my keloid has gotten smaller, but now I've started noticing a watery discharge from the area that doesn't seem to stop, even with dressing and antibiotics. I'm really worried about this. Do you have any advice on what I could do next?

I'm having some trouble with acne and my doctor said to take doxy 100mg capsules. But when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called doxybond LB. They mentioned there are different types like doxylab and doxybond LB. I looked up doxybond LB online and saw it might have a bunch of side effects. Now I'm worriedwill this actually help with my acne, or could it cause more issues? What should I do?

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

I've been taking isotretinoin at 20 mg and it's really drying out my lips. I've tried a few lip balms, but nothing seems to help. Could you recommend a lip balm that might work better? I'm getting a bit worried about how chapped they're getting.

Dry lips is the most common side effect of Isotretinoin,use butter based lipbalms as they are long lasting and stay hydrated
