Question 1

I've had this pimple on my cheek for a few days, and now the area around it, like an inch or so, is swollen, red, and a bit painful. Could you tell me what might be going on and any recommendations for treatment?

Accepted Answer

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated

Question 2

I'm dealing with a fungal infection that's been sticking around for about three years. I'm really into non-veg food, and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to continue eating it with my condition. If it's fine, could you suggest what kind of non-veg options would be best for me? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice!

Accepted Answer

There is no indication that you are not supposed to eat non veg if you have Fungal infection,avoid foods that your allergic to, otherwise you can have nonveg food of your choice but in a healthy way and limited quantity.

Question 3

I've been really stressed this year and taking a lot of pain meds, like ibuprofen and naproxen. I stopped the naproxen because I thought it might be the problem. About a month and a half ago, I noticed a few tiny red spots on my upper arms. Even after stopping the naproxen, the spots are still there, and I think there are more now. I had a CBC done when I first noticed them and the platelets were normal, but all the stuff I read online is just really scary. I'm freaking out a bit. What could be causing these spots?
