I'm currently on methotrexate, 10mg per week, for my condition, and now I've been prescribed Sotret for my acne. I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe to take both at the same time. Could there be any side effects or negative interactions I should be aware of?

Question

I'm thinking about using vitamin serum and Kojivit cream at the same time to get fairer skin more quickly. Is this a good idea, and how should I apply them? Also, could I take a vitamin C capsule along with them? I'm really curious about whether combining these products is safe and effective, or if there's a specific way to use them for the best results. Can you help me figure this out?

Question

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?

Question

I've noticed that every time I masturbate, I break out with about a dozen new pimples on my face. Could there be a link between masturbation and acne? If so, what can I do about it since I know masturbation is a natural part of life?
