I'm a 31-year-old guy and recently noticed this red mark on my neck that's been there for about 12 days now. It kind of looks like a hickey, but it definitely isn't because I haven't been sexually active in a few years. It doesn't hurt or itch, so I'm really confused about what it could be. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

A sudden red mark on the neck that doesn't hurt or itch could be from minor trauma (like scratching), an insect bite, or a skin reaction. Other possibilities include an allergic reaction. If it doesnt improve or new symptoms appear, consider seeing a doctor for evaluation to rule out other causes like dermatitis or skin conditions.

The safe limit for alprazolam in a day varies depending on the individual, their medical condition, and the dosage form. Typically, the recommended daily dose ranges from 0.25 to 2 milligrams, taken 2 to 3 times a day . Taking 5 grams of alprazolam can be extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening. This is an excessively high dose that can cause severe symptoms, including respiratory depression, coma, and even death . Regarding drug interactions, alprazolam can interact with various medications, including paracetamol (acetaminophen). While paracetamol is generally safe to use with alprazolam, taking high doses of paracetamol can increase the risk of liver damage, especially when combined with other medications like alprazolam .

I've been using BETNOVATE CREAM regularly for my skin, mostly for fairness and acne, and I'm starting to wonder about the long-term effects. My family doctor mentioned that I shouldn't use it so often. What are the potential side effects of continuing its use? Also, are there safer alternatives that I could consider?
Long-term use of Betnovate cream, a strong steroid, can cause skin thinning, increased acne, pigmentation changes, and may worsen skin issues over time. It's best to stop regular use and consult a dermatologist for safer options, like non-steroid creams, retinoids, or other acne treatments suited to your skin.

Why is my skin turning black?
If your body makes too much melanin, your skin gets darker. Pregnancy, Addison's disease, and sun exposure all can make your skin darker.
