I'm currently undergoing treatment for pimples and scars on my face, and I'm wondering if it's okay to mix in some home remedies at the same time. Could home remedies cause any side effects while I'm on this treatment?

Question

Could you help me out with something? I'm a 72-year-old male dealing with ringworm on my abdomen and back. It's really itchy. I've got diabetes and I'm taking Metolar, Ecosprin, and Metformin. Is it safe for me to try taking Can 150 mg for three days for this issue? Would appreciate your advice.

Question

I've been noticing that I get these weird recurrent rashes around the time I ovulate. They're either skin-colored or red bumps showing up on my cheeks and forehead. Weird thing is, they clear up on their own by the time my period ends, or sometimes they go away within a week. This happens every month like clockwork. I'm not taking any pills or meds and I'm perfectly healthy otherwise. I did use emergency contraception a few times last year but that's about it. Could there be a connection, or is there something else I should be worried about?

Question

I've been dealing with my lips peeling every day for the past 12 years, and it's really starting to worry me. After I shower, both my upper and lower lips turn white and peel, leaving the raw red skin exposed. I've seen multiple dermatologists, and they've suggested it's Exfoliative cheilitis, but none of the steroid creams or ointments they've prescribed have worked. I've even tried homeopathic and Ayurvedic treatments, but still no success. I can't help but think that maybe it's connected to my digestion or some inflammation in my body. Could you give me some guidance on what might be causing this and how I might be able to treat it?
