I've noticed this thin black line on my index finger, and it's been there for about two weeks now. I'm really starting to wonder what could be causing it. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I go ahead and consult a doctor? Its kind of worrying me.

I've been dealing with a fungal infection for about 1.5 years now, and it's all over my stomach and going downwards. I've tried a bunch of medicines like fluconazole and creams like O2derm, but nothing seems to be working. I'm really looking for some advice on how to finally get rid of this. What should I do?

I'm wondering if it's safe to take DOXT SL 100 twice a day, after breakfast and dinner, for a long time like 3 to 4 months continuously. It's been suggested for a skin issue. Do you know if there's a time limit when this medication might start causing problems? Are there any precautions I should be aware of?

Hey, so I've been having this issue where my skin gets all red and there's this burning feeling whenever I use Sofradex cream. Ive been using it for some skin problems, but these side effects are really uncomfortable. I'm 27 and just wondering if there's something else I can use that won't do this to my skin. Any ideas?

Stop the medication, u can use clopivate cream for local application for 7 days, any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
