Allergic reactions to antibiotics like Amoxicillin can manifest as itching, swelling, and redness on the skin, as well as swelling of the fingers. It is important to stop taking MOX 500 and the painkiller immediately and seek medical attention. For the itching and swelling, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

Is Metrogyl Gel effective in treating acne? I am a 17 year old girl with a lot of pimples on my face. I have used the regular acne creams but they haven’t worked well so far.

Accepted Answer

Metrogyl Gel, containing metronidazole, is primarily used to treat rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness, inflammation, and acne-like symptoms. While it might help with acne, its effectiveness for this purpose is limited.

For acne treatment, consider the following:

1. Benzoyl peroxide-based creams or gels (2.5% or 5%) for mild to moderate acne.
2. Salicylic acid-based products (0.5% or 2%) for blackheads and whiteheads.
3. Sulfur-based products for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. They may prescribe topical or oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal treatments, depending on your acne severity and type.
