Question 1

I've been using Deriva BPO gel for about a week now, but I haven't noticed any improvements in my acne. In fact, I'm seeing more whiteheads appearing on my acne every day. Is this how the gel is supposed to work, or will it actually help clear up my acne?

Accepted Answer

Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've been getting these frequent rashes, and even though my blood test came back normal, my doctor said it might be a hidden allergy or stress-related. But I'm scared it could be something like HIV. How can I tell if these rashes are just from stress or if they're possibly HIV-related? They're itchy and red, and they started in December when I was super stressed about my exams. Can you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

Consider alternatives to KayamNityam Churna to manage bowel movements.

Cremalax, a laxative, can provide temporary relief, but long-term use may lead to dependence.

For a 70-year-old, it's recommended to limit Cremalax use to 1-2 weeks.

Consult your doctor about safer, long-term options, such as:

Psyllium husk (Isabgol)
Probiotics
Dietary fiber supplements

Also, discuss acidity and sleep issues with your doctor to address underlying causes.

Question 3

I've been dealing with really rough and dry skin on one of my fingers for the past two years. It almost looks like cracked drought land when I look closely. Sometimes it gets itchy too. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing a condition called eczema. I recommend using a moisturizing cream containing 1% hydrocortisone to help with the dryness and itching. You can apply it to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh soaps to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

It is safe to use this medication again if you are experiencing redness after 2 months. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and complete the full course of treatment. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further guidance.
