Question 1

I have scabies in my underarms and skin became black due to scabies ...and i have this problem most of time

Accepted Answer

To treat scabies, you can use Permethrin cream 5%. Apply a thin layer of the cream to your entire body from the neck down and leave it on for 8-14 hours before washing it off. This should be repeated in 7 days. Additionally, you can take an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to wash all clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation.

Question 2

I keep getting acne on my face and back all year round and its really frustrating. A friend recommended I try Momate-F cream. Is it safe to use for acne on my back? Also, what exactly does this cream do?

Accepted Answer

Momate-F cream contains Mometasone which is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling. It is primarily used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. However, it is not typically recommended for treating acne as it may not target the underlying causes of acne effectively. For acne on your back, I would recommend using a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. These ingredients are more effective in treating acne by unclogging pores, reducing bacteria, and preventing new acne breakouts. You can try using Benzac AC gel on your back acne. Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected areas once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to cleanse the area thoroughly before applying the gel. Remember to patch test any new product on a small area of skin before applying it to larger areas to check for any adverse reactions.

Question 4

Im currently taking erythromycin tablets for my acne, and Im wondering how long it takes for the body to digest them. Can you help me with this?

Accepted Answer

Erythromycin is an antibiotic commonly used to treat acne.The digest time, also known as the absorption time, of erythromycin tablets can vary depending on several factors, such as the dosage form, individual metabolism, and food intake.Typically, erythromycin tablets are absorbed into the bloodstream within 1-4 hours after oral administration. However, the exact digest time may range from 30 minutes to 6 hours.Here's a rough breakdown of what you can expect:- 30 minutes to 1 hour: Erythromycin starts getting absorbed into the bloodstream.- 1-2 hours: Peak absorption levels are reached.- 2-4 hours: Erythromycin starts taking effect against acne-causing bacteria.- 4-6 hours: The antibiotic is fully absorbed and distributed throughout the body.Keep in mind that these times are approximate and may vary from person to person.
