View allI've been diagnosed with lichen planus and I've been prescribed Omnacortil 10mg tablets. I'm really curious about what effects or side effects I might experience from taking this medication. Can you shed some light on this for me?
Tablet Omnacortil 10mg contains prednisolone, which is a corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation. In the treatment of lichen planus, Omnacortil 10mg can help reduce itching, redness, and inflammation of the skin lesions. However, it is important to note that long-term use of corticosteroids like prednisolone can have side effects such as weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, increased risk of infections, and thinning of the skin. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration as advised by your healthcare provider to minimize the risk of side effects.

I've been dealing with a stubborn boil on my butt and it got really inflamed and red, so my doctor put me on antibiotics for five days. The swelling has gone down since then, but the boil isn't completely healed yet. It still oozes a bit of pus and blood when I squeeze it, though it's almost flat now. I'm just a bit worried because it's taking longer to heal than I expected. Do you think this is normal? Should I be doing anything else to help it heal completely?
That will heal don't try to squeeze it, consume balanced diet

I've got this sudden blister on my waistline that showed up this afternoon, but there's no rash that I can see. I usually sweat a lot. Yesterday I was out in the sun for over eight hours. I'm curious about what's causing this blister. Could it be related to the sun exposure or maybe something else?
That could be folliculitis or pemphigous,visit dermatologist as soon as possible for evaluation and appropriate management.
