Question 1

I am undergoing treatment for Acne. Doctor prescribed me to take Azithromycin 500mg thrice a week for 4 weeks(1 hour before food). But the day I am taking it, I am getting loose motions up to 4 times a day and my body gets completely drained out.
Is it a normal thing? Should I continue taking it or should I stop it right away?

Accepted Answer

Its not uncommon for Azithromycin to cause gastrointestinal side effects like loose motions. However, if its affecting your daily activities and draining you, its important to let your doctor know immediately. They may adjust your treatment or recommend a different approach to minimize discomfort.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be dealing with a form of hyperpigmentation caused by persistent itching, which leads to scarring. This could be due to a condition like eczema or contact dermatitis. I recommend visiting a dermatologist to help identify the underlying cause and provide proper treatment to prevent further scarring.

Accepted Answer

A painful, fluid-excreting bump on the tailbone area could be a pilonidal cyst, abscess, or infected acne, and it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably A general surgeon, for a proper diagnosis and treatment to alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications.

Question 4

I ve been taking Becadexamine (multivitamin) for past 3 weeks. my skin has turned fair. is it normal?? is this how multivitamins work? what is the right time to take multivitamins?

Accepted Answer

It is not common for multivitamins to directly cause changes in skin color. Becadexamine is a multivitamin supplement that contains essential vitamins and minerals. The change in your skin color may be due to other factors or could be unrelated to the multivitamin intake. The right time to take multivitamins is usually in the morning with breakfast to help ensure optimal absorption.

Question 6

My arms are more dark than my rest of the body , I use body lotions homemade scrubs , cucumber juice masks but temporary results. can you please suggest something good fr matching my original tone ?( my skin is sensitive and bit dry)

Accepted Answer

To help even out your skin tone and address sensitivity and dryness, I recommend using a skin-lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. You can try using "Meladerm" cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, incorporating a moisturizer like "Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream" can help hydrate your skin and improve its overall texture. Remember to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further darkening.
