Question 1

Hi doctor, a local doctor prescribed Gris ODT (250mg) for a fungal infection on my back. However, when I went to buy the medicine, they didnt have Gris ODT in stock, so they gave me Grisovin FP (250mg) as an alternative. Can I take Grisovin FP instead of Gris ODT for my infection?

Accepted Answer

Grisovin FP (250mg) is a suitable alternative to Gris ODT (250mg) for fungal infections since they have the same active ingredient (Griseofulvin) and similar formulation (oral tablets). Consult your doctor and monitor your response to the medication.

Question 4

My dermatologist suggest me using clindamycin gel and isotration tablet for pimple and scar.. from 12 days i have taken but my skin become more oily and i dont get much improvement and get more visible acne ..should i stop this gel and tablet??

Accepted Answer

Concerns about Clindamycin gel and Isotretinoin tablet.

_Possible Reasons for Oily Skin and Lack of Improvement:_

1. _Initial breakout_: Isotretinoin can cause an initial flare-up of acne.
2. _Hormonal adjustments_: Isotretinoin can affect hormone levels, leading to increased oil production.
3. _Clindamycin gel_: Can cause skin dryness, but in some cases, may increase oil production.

_Recommended Next Steps:_

1. _Consult your dermatologist_: Discuss your concerns and the lack of improvement.
2. _Do not stop medication abruptly_: Consult your dermatologist before stopping or adjusting treatment.
3. _Consider adjustments to treatment_: Your dermatologist may adjust the dosage or recommend additional treatments to control oil production and acne.

_Maintain Good Skincare Habits:_

1. _Use non-comedogenic products_: Avoid products that clog pores.
2. _Keep your skin clean_: Gently wash your face twice a day.
3. _Avoid picking or popping pimples_: This can lead to further inflammation and scarring.

Question 6

Ive noticed a ring-shaped rash on my skin, and its been spreading to the lower part of my body. Im worried about it and not sure what it is. Ive attached some picturescan you help me figure out whats going on and what I should do?

Accepted Answer

You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
