What's the deal with sotret nf compared to just regular sotret? My doctor switched me to the nf version, and I'm curious about the difference between them. Should I be worried about changing medications?

I recently got over a bout of diarrhea, and it seems like the antibiotic ORNIO really helped. But now I'm experiencing itchiness all over my body, and I'm noticing these tiny bumps popping up on my skin. I've never had any allergies to medication before, but could this antibiotic be causing these symptoms? Can you provide some guidance on what might be happening?

After I shave, the skin on my face turns dark green in the shaved area. Barbers say my beard is really tough. What can I do about this? I'm looking for some advice.

The dark green discoloration after shaving, known as pseudofolliculitis barbae or razor burn, can be caused by coarse or curly hair, ingrown hairs, or razor burn; to alleviate this issue, try using a sharp razor, shaving in the direction of hair growth, applying a soothing aftershave balm, exfoliating your skin regularly, and considering alternative hair removal methods like trimming or depilatory creams.
