It's been two years I've got it. I started medications 6 months ago. I'm using tacrolimus ointment since Sept 2016 n I also took NBUVB for 3 months till 800mg. I use sunscreen lotion twice a day. But after phototherapy I felt my skin became more dry and dark so I quit it since I felt really depressed with my dark face n neck. Since I became more dark n dry skin I consulted

My periods is regular. It stays for 3-4 days and I always get it 3-5 days early. So I'm worried if I should consume this tablet??? Can someone please guide???

Accepted Answer

It is understandable to have concerns about taking a medication that is typically used for a different purpose. In your case, Xamic tablet (Tranexamic Acid) can also be used to reduce skin pigmentation and improve skin tone in conditions like LPP. The recommended dosage for skin pigmentation is usually 250-500mg twice daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and continue with the prescribed treatment plan. If you have any further concerns or experience any side effects, it is best to discuss them with your doctor for proper guidance.

Ringworm can be frustrating and uncomfortable.Understanding RingwormRingworm, also known as dermatophytosis, is a fungal infection that affects the skin. It's highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or contaminated surface.Why Ringworm Keeps Coming BackThe recurrence of ringworm can be due to several factors:1. Incomplete treatment: If the treatment is not completed or is not effective, the fungus may not be fully eliminated, leading to recurrence.2. Contaminated environment: If the environment is not properly cleaned and disinfected, the fungus can survive and re-infect you.3. Weakened immune system: A weakened immune system can make you more susceptible to fungal infections, including ringworm.4. Skin-to-skin contact: Direct contact with an infected person or animal can spread the infection.

Question 4

Thigh burn with hot water...Applying silverex oitment ...But it has lots of iching n pain..
How to cure as soon as possible ..?

Accepted Answer

The itching and pain you are experiencing after applying Silverex ointment may be due to an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the silver sulfadiazine in the ointment. I recommend stopping the use of Silverex ointment and instead applying a gentle soothing cream like aloe vera gel or plain white petroleum jelly to help with the itching and pain. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with the pain. Make sure to keep the burn clean and covered with a sterile dressing. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
