I'm taking a 5mg levocet tablet for a skin reaction on my face and have been on it for 6 days now. Since I don't have any more itching or redness, I'm wondering if I should stop the medicine or keep going. My doctor originally suggested I take it for 10 days. What do you think I should do?

You can stop taking Levocet 5mg tablet since you no longer have itching or redness on your face. It is advisable to complete the course as prescribed by your doctor, which in your case is 10 days. Since you have already taken it for 6 days and your symptoms have resolved, you can safely discontinue the medication.

View allI've been using MELALUMIN cream for over two months now to deal with pigmentation on my face, particularly around my nose on both sides. At first, it seemed to work well in the first month, but now I don't see any improvements. Could my skin have become resistant to the ingredients? Can you suggest a better alternative for dealing with this pigmentation issue?
An alternative cream that you can try for pigmentation is Hydroquinone in combination with Tretinoin cream and corticosteroid cream. You can apply a thin layer of this combination cream once daily at night. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further pigmentation.

I'm struggling with a persistent fungal infection on my skin. I'm using NuforceGM cream but the itching just won't go away. It looks like a ring with red spots. I've been dealing with this for quite a while. What do you think would help?
It seems like the fungal infection is not responding well to the current treatment. I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra cream. Apply it twice a day on the affected area for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection from within. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight clothing to help with the healing process. Listen

I've been using hair removal cream and now I'm dealing with some irritation and itching around my vagina. I think it might be a side effect from the cream. Has anyone else experienced this? Since then, I've switched to waxing. What can I do to soothe the itching, and is waxing a safer option for sensitive skin in that area? Would love some advice!
Thats due to allergy,avoiding the triggering factor is the only treatment for such conditions and visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
