The medicine of leprosy commonly called as MB MDT( multibacillary Multi Drug Therapy) is given for the period of 6 months to 2 years depending upon the severity of leprosy and time taken to get it resolved or resolution of the symptoms. These medications if taken under the proper supervision are safe. If any problem arises due to the medication you may contact the prescribing doctor or dermatologist.

Questions & Answers on "Dermatology" (2232)

Please I've been over sweating this past week, I don't know why. I sweat a lot in sunny conditions, but this time it's soo much worse I don't know why. My height is 5 feet 5 and my weight is 90kg. Please what do you think the problem is?

Female | 22

Hyperhidrosis may be warned by profuse sweating, specially in sunny days. But one must rule out any underlying medical condition such as thyroid or inflammatory disease. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for assessment and diagnosis. They can offer treatments and guidance on the condition’s management.

I had a small cut on my hand that came into contact with blood on clothe. I didn't see any blood on my cut afterward or any wetness. Could I be infected with HIV?

Female | 33

HIV does not spre­ad easily from dried blood. The virus die­s quickly outside the body. A small cut touching dried blood is ve­ry unlikely to cause infection. Unbroke­n skin protects against HIV entering the­ body. Being cautious with blood is wise. Howeve­r, in this case, the chance of ge­tting HIV is extremely low. It's still good to watch for any unusual symptoms. But you probably have­ nothing to worry about!

Salic cu glyco peeling is gud for skin?

Female | 30

Salicylic acid and glycolic acid peels can be beneficial for skin.. Both ingredients exfoliate, unclog pores, and improve skin texture .. SALICYLIC ACID is oil soluble, making it an effective treatment for acne-prone skin.... GLYCOLIC ACID is water soluble, making it a good choice for dry skin. However, these peels should only be done by a qualified professional, as they can cause skin damage if not done properly . It's important to discuss any concerns with a DERMATOLOGIST before undergoing the treatment.

I use podophyllin on my penis and testicles its peel my skin hardly burning I used petroleum jelly but not cure

Male | 31

It see­ms there's irritation from your podophyllin treatme­nt on your private parts. The burning and pee­ling skin could indicate a reaction. Stop using it right away. Gently wash the­ area with cool water and mild soap. Put calming aloe ve­ra cream to soothe irritation.

Good morning I have acne marks problems ...and I tried many of the oilments home remedies etc ..but I couldn't get any result..there is a black spot on face due to pimple so if you suggest any oilment for it.it might be helpful

Female | 23

If its only acne marks, continuing your acne treatment with facewash and gels will improve it. Some topical agents also helps in removing the pigmentation and marks of the acne. Even Salic acid 20% gel at night on spots is helpful. Glyco 6 or Glycolic acid 6% is recommended for application on the face. Acne compatible sunscreen is also helpful. Chemical Peeling with glycolic acid or salicylic acid is useful
