Should I wait or take extra Doxycycline dose?

Hello! I'd like to consult on a medication called Doxycycline I took 2 doses wrongly by accident (2 pills 2 times a day instead of 1 pill 2 times a day) Should I wait 24 hours and take the next dose in the morning? or should I take my next dose now? also, could I check the effectiveness of doxycycline? (I have taken doxycycline before and I'm concerned it might not be effective) Thank you!

Overdosing on doxycycline can lead to side effects such as queasiness or throwing up. If you took extra doses by mistake, do not take another one immediately. It is recommended that you wait until your next scheduled dose. Doxycycline might not be effective if you have had it before especially if it was not prescribed to you. If you are worried about anything, ask your dermatologist for advice.

I have keloid scars on my upper chest and one on the side of my stomach. Both are raised and very pigmented. I am looking for topical (non-invasive) treatment options that would reduce the appearance of the scars. I would like to understand which combination of gels and creams would work best for my goals? E.g applying silicone cream gels and layering silicone gel sheets, then using bio oil etc.

Female | 18

Keloid scars are marks that are raised and dark because of the excessive collagen. These scars can be highly annoying for people. Utilization of silicone gel or sheets will assist in the flattening and bleaching of the scars. Besides, the application of bio-oil can be even more effective in enhancing the look. Hence, the most important thing is the time and patience to stick to the treatment to be able to see the effects of it.

Does Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim cure Chlamydia?

Male | 19

Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim also recognized as Bactrim is not usually used in treating chlamydia. This is because it is a bacteria that spreads through intimate contact. This may lead to painful urination, unusual discharge, and sometimes no signs at all. Normally, antibiotics such as azithromycin or doxycycline are used to cure chlamydia. If you suspect that you have the disease, it is important to get tested and treated so as to avoid any further complications.

Greetings sir my daughter is four years old she was some what black with your suggestion I want her for skin whitening treatment which one is permanent for her chemical peel or Laser treatment please suggest me sir

Female | 4

Neither of these treatments is recommended for children under the age of 18. Chemical peels and laser treatments are not permanent skin whitening treatments. These treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but they will not permanently lighten the skin.

Mere private part me bahut jada itching ho arha hai hain Maine v wash se wash karti hu lightly warm water se bhi wash krti hu aur candid b cream use kar rhi hu but vo thoda der thik lagta hain uske baad discharge ho jata hain aur itching start ho jata hain

Female | 23

You may have a common condition called a yeast infection. It is a common disease characterized by burning, a whitish or yellowish vaginal discharge, and also, redness around the vagina and itching. Vaginal yeast infections develop when new fungi appear on this secure bacterial turf. One drop of V wash liquid on the sanitary napkin and one drop on the private part will soothe your pain and prevent you from itching. When you temporarily mitigate the disease using V Wash and antibiotics, it does not mean it has been healed for good. Only by using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole can you get fully cured.

I am 18-year old female and i have been experiencing throat pain, there’s small oranges bumps on the back of my throat, it hurts to sallow and my throat just looks red and swollen is also small patches on my tonsils.

Female | 18

You could have tonsillitis, a condition in which your tonsils become infected. It may be uneasy for you if your throat is red, swollen, and has small orange bumps and patches. Tonsillitis can be caused by viruses or bacteria. In more detail, the patient should follow the three instructions: drinking a lot of non-alcoholic fluids, sleeping more, and using over-the-counter analgesic medication that your healthcare provider recommended. The practice of gargling warm salty water will definitely sooth the pain as well. By that time the infection has not subsided; it can mean that you should see a physician for more care.

I am 26 year old Female. I have acne scars from past 2-3 months. I was using Clear gel ointment on them. The scars have reduced but still the skin is not getting clear. Prior to this I never had acne. Also my skin is normal type not at all acne prone or oily skin. Please suggest some Medication or ointment for clear skin. I have started following a skincare routine with Cleansing Toning Vitamin C serum Eye cream Moisturizer and Sunscreen.

Female | 26

The best way to get clear skin is to use a gentle skincare routine that includes cleansing, toning, exfoliating, and moisturizing. To help reduce the appearance of acne scars, you may also want to consider using a product with ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid to help reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, and improve hydration levels. Additionally, you may want to consider using a gentle exfoliating scrub or mask, such as a clay mask, to help remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and brighten skin. Lastly, you may want to consider using a topical spot treatment with ingredients like salicylic acid to help reduce inflammation and break down any remaining acne scarring.
