Hi i have pcos problem and my doctor suggested me dronis 30. Morover i m facing the acne problem all throughout my face. My doctor suggested that not only will dronis regularise my periods but will also clean the acnes. I have already taken 11 tablets but i don't see any visible changes with the acne on my face. Does dronis 30 clear acne? If yes after how many tablets will i be able to see a change? Or its not necessarily true that dronis 30 removes acne issues too? Kindly let me know. ## Hello, Sana! How are you? Has there been any change, yet? It can take a few months for this medication to start helping clear up your acne and regulate your periods. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, spotting, and PMS-like s...

Dear sir, I am a 26 year old male from andhra pradesh (india), suffering from pimples & acne for the last 6 years. Please suggest me medicine to get rid of acne & pimples. ## Hello, Prasanna! How are you doing? Well, you need to learn what's causing it. Some types of acne are bacterial and require an antibiotic. But some types may be due to excess skin oils, certain foods you eat, other medications you may be taking and etc. Have you consulted a doctor to have it checked it out? Do you take any medications regularly? ## Dear sir/madam iam manoj sharma from west Bengal. I am 18 years old. My big problem is pimple & acne. So pls suggest me a medicine and cream. ## Please use Retino-A. 0-025%. It is very useful. ## Hello, I'm getting pimples due to dandruff. My skin tex...

what is the name of pills that help to beautiful my skin and large my boobs ## I'm sorry, but there are no miracle medications for either one. Some medications may cause a temporary enlargement of your breasts, while you are taking, due to hormone fluctuations or weight gain, but the effects are only temporary and will disappear, once you stop taking them. The same for your skin, there are some medications that can improve it or help clear up cases of acne, but that is all they do. There is nothing on the market that will give you beautiful, glowing skin and also allow it to stay that way, once the substance is stopped. Your best bet, to improve both is to get proper exercise and follow a proper diet to make sure your body is properly nourished. Are there any comments or questions? ...

I have brown spots on my face (which is melasma). Is there any medicine or cream available for treatment? ## Try Dr. Obagi blending cream, It's slow but it works great (you will start to see results after the 4th week). It's expensive too. ## I have spots from pimples and dark patches (melasma) on my face. Which cream can I use to diminish its appearance?

There was a cream that was applied to the buttocks area for a patient who had thin skin. It worked wonders on her. How do I get this cream? ## Hello, Janie! How are you? Unfortunately, I can't say. The ingredients can vary from area to area. It is something that is specially ordered by the patient's doctor using FDA approved medications. It is made by a compounding pharmacy, according to the prescribing instructions of the doctor. Some will include topical pain medications, nerve medications, antibiotics, steroids, and etc. It is entirely up to the doctor, the patient's condition, and their response/reactions to various medications. Were there any details on the label? If so, you might be able to ask your doctor about prescribing something similar.

For the past couple months I have had these things form underneath my right armpit. They get really big and are full of white and yellow puss. It's just underneath one arm. If anyone knows why this is happening please tell me! ## Such issues are usually caused by an infection and an antibiotic is required to eradicate the bacteria. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. How often do they occur? Have you change anything in your hygiene routine, recently, such as your deodorant, shaving cream, razor, or etc.? I used to get them from a certain deodorant I used, but the problem stopped, when I threw it away.

Is Quadriderm nf good for psoriasis? FYI, yes I do see a dermatologist for it. I'm just wondering if this would work as well? ## There is a chance that it might, but it can also worsen some skin issues, so it should not be taken, unless your doctor approves. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, and flaking. What other medications do you use to treat it?

Have severe burnt lips for over two weeks from tropical sun. Can I use this ointment for the lip (.05) ? ## Hi Don, Sorry to hear about what happen to your lips. Regarding the Clobetasol propionate ointment, this is a corticosteroid used to treat severe inflammatory skin conditions as well as various skin disorders, ranging from eczema to psoriasis. While it's not intended to be a cure for the condition on your lip, it may help alleviate much of the symptoms associated with a flare-up of pain or discomfort by reducing inflammation, itching and redness. You can also learn more about this drug on the page for Clobetasol Details Hopefully being in the setting of a lush tropical environment was totally worth it in the long run ;) ## hi sir i got eczema on my hands and face ,i consulted ...

Isn't this taken for getting rid of acne and what shouldn't be eaten if you're on this? ## Hello, Liz! How are you? Yes, the FDA classifies Doxycycline as an antibiotic and the low dose is something used to treat bacterial acne. You shouldn't ingest any dairy products within one hour before or two hours after taking it, because they may affect the absorption of it. The typical side effects for this antibiotic may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can 100 mg doxiciline cure staph or need a in the armpit.

I had a very bad skin rash that caused redness all over my body. I used a pink creamy lotion but I can not remember what it was. Any ideas? ## If it dries kind of chalky and looks like Pepto Bismol before applying and then you apply and it drives chalky for itching and redness it's called calamine lotion

Hi. I've been experiencing chronic urticaria for the past 1 and a half years. I have taken steroids like levocet, omnacortil, elina, omcard, allegra 180 and atarax 25... but am still suffering badly. I'm getting hives everywhere on my body. Please help me. I've gone through 4 to 5 doctors with no results. What can I take for relief? I'm currently taking patadin... Will that cure it? Please do reply.

I experienced a severe adverse reaction of 75% hair loss after having a Kenalong inj. to my thumb on 3/1/17. Stay away from this poison! I had to buy a wig; and my hair is still progressively falling after the 12 weeks! Dehumanizing! ## That is odd, it is actually used to treat hair loss. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including administration site irritation, redness, dryness, and flaking. Are you on any other medications? How long after receiving it did the hair loss start? How old are you?

I bought Reacel-A Tretinoina Crema .05g/100g in Mexico. There aren't any directions. What do I use it for? How much should I use and how often? ## Hi Marci, can you please write back with the list of ingredients (active and inactive)? I can't say that I'm familiar with this product since it's from outside the US. Although if I had my best guess it sounds like the ingredient Tretinoin. When you ask "What do I use it for", what do you mean? I assume that when you purchased it you had a reason? May I ask if you intend to take it for a specific skin condition? I'm guessing that this is an acne cream, is that right?

Doctor has prescribed Gemfos for my varicose veins. He told me to take this medicine once a week for 1 month and afterwards, said to lie down for 2 hours. I need to know about its side effects please. I'm 57 years old and I have hypothyroidism too.

I have a tube of Reacel-A (Tretinoina Crema .05 g/100g.), which a friend bought for me last year in Mexico. My Dermatologist tells me it is the same thing as US product Retin-A. I have used it for a year and had no problem. My friend this year was not able to find this exact tube in Mexico and bought Epitrel Acido Retinoico Crema .05. My question is: Is this tube just like my last year's tube from Mexico? ## Hi Traveling Lady, Based on my research, the Epitrel Retinoic acid cream you received contains Retinoic acid (0.5 %) as the active ingredient. Retinoic acid is basically the same thing as Tretinoin. This cream may contain different "inactive" ingredients, since it was most likely manufactured by a different company. However, it seems as though the active ingredient is th...

How often (how many days per week) should this cream be used? I am 67 years old and am using it to treat sun damage (actinic keratoses) on my face. ## From what I was able to gather, the primary ingredient in Epitrel Tretinoina Cream is Tretinoin. Although I couldn't locate specific information stating how many days per week this should be used, I did find some other very important user information that you may find beneficial. The safety and administration guidelines for this medication note the following: "The effectiveness of Tretinoin Cream, USP (Emollient) 0.05% in the mitigation of fine wrinkles, mottled hyperpigmentation, and tactile roughness of facial skin has not been established in people greater than 50 years of age OR in people with moderately to heavily pigmented s...

Can a patient suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney malfunction (creatine 3.2, urea 105, potassium 4.7) with knee problems take diacerein (100gm) daily? if not, what is the alternative? Is it necessary to avoid taking diacerein when suffering from kidney malfunction? Kindly advise. ## Diacerein can be used by people with kidney problems that have decreased function, but your doctor does have to carefully consider the dosage. Normally they should only prescribe half the amount that they would for people that don't have kidney problems. Decreased kidney function causes the drug to reach higher plasma concentrations in the body and to be processed out much slower. Has your doctor prescribed this and is that same doctor aware of your kidney problem? ## What are the side e...
