How exactly should I use this Salactin paint for my warts? Do I need to soak them in water first, or should I just apply it directly on them? I'm a bit unsure about the proper way.

View allI'm wondering if Tivenca gel can be used instead of Papulex for my face, and if it's safe to leave on overnight. Could you let me know if that's okay?
Tivenca gel is not a direct replacement for Papulex for the face. Papulex is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin and contains ingredients like nicotinamide and zinc PCA to help control excess oil production and reduce inflammation. Tivenca gel, on the other hand, is primarily used for the treatment of various skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment for your skin condition. For acne treatment, you can consider using Papulex gel on the affected areas of the face in the evening before bedtime. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of the gel and leave it on overnight for best results.

I've been having these really itchy rashes on my skin for a while now. I saw a dermatologist and she mentioned it was a mild infection, so I took ebast 10mg for 20 days like she suggested. But the thing is, the rashes keep popping back up. It's been going on for around 4 months, and I'm starting to wonder if just taking antihistamines is the right approach. The second I stop taking ebast, the rashes come back after just 2 days. Im just not sure who I should talk to for a deeper look into what's causing this. What could be causing these rashes, and how do we figure out the right treatment?
Antihistamines are generally safe for long term consumption. If stopping the medicaitons causes your symptoms to recur, it may be best to get further evaluation done and ascertain your allergic triggers. Consult an Immunologist to get a more detailed treatment plan.
