Question 1

I've been experiencing some itching and flaky skin in certain areas, and I'm worried it might spread. I'm not diabetic, but I do have high blood pressure, which is under control. Can you help me figure out what this might be and what I should do about it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you might be dealing with a skin condition like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis, which can cause itching and flakiness. Since you have high blood pressure, it's important to use gentle, non-irritating treatments. If it worsens or spreads, I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Question 2

A friend recommended using Lomela cream for acne and pigmentation, and I wanted to know when should I stop using it after seeing results. Do I need to keep using it to maintain the results, and if so, how long should I continue applying it?

Accepted Answer

Lomela cream contains hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin which are used to treat hyperpigmentation and acne. It is usually recommended to use this cream for a limited period of time, typically around 4-8 weeks, to see visible results. Once you have achieved the desired results, you can gradually reduce the frequency of application. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider or dermatologist to determine the appropriate duration of treatment based on your individual response and skin condition.

Question 4

I am on the 11th day of chicken pox and all my blisters had scabbed. Suddenly there seems to be two new ones today. Anything to worry ? Is it possible for it to return at this stage?

Accepted Answer

It is not uncommon for new blisters to appear even after the initial ones have scabbed over. This does not necessarily mean that the chicken pox is returning. However, it is important to continue practicing good hygiene to prevent any potential complications.You should continue to take anti-virals and practice self isolation to prevent further spread of the virus.

Question 5

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.
