I'm dealing with a skin infection, and my doctor prescribed me Cutisoft and Peroclin. I'm a bit confused because he didn't specify if I should be using Peroclin 2.5 or Peroclin 5. How can I find out which one to use?

To clarify the prescription, I recommend calling your doctor's office or sending a message to confirm whether the prescribed Peroclin is 2.5% or 5%; alternatively, you can also check the prescription label or packaging, if available, or schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure you're using the correct medication and dosage.

I've noticed that my mustache, which used to be really thick just a few months ago, is now thinning out. Lately, I've been shedding a lot of hairs, more than usual, and you can see the gaps between the hairs more clearly. It still looks okay for now, but I'm worried it might not grow back to how it was before. Do you think it will grow back? Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Yes.
