my dermatologist prescribed me Brevoxyl-4 Acne Wash to keep my acne away after i finished using my accutane. The first four weeks i have been on it have been amazing! Great results. But its around the 5-6 week and I noticed that my nose seems to be breaking out a little bit. I get tiny white heads with a little red around them. Is this normal? I know on a few occasions i have used the wash twice a day. Could this be causing me to break out? I want to wait and see what happens before i call my dermatologist back. What should i do? Can someone explain the over usage effects of Brevoxyl and whether or not i should call the dermatologist or wait?
Thanks

In a healthy adult will thrush persist longer if you do not treat it? Is it recommended to go and get the antifungal treatment, or can you wait it out. Also should you stop using the same toothbrush once you have had it treated?

I got pink eye in my left eye on Saturday, July 28th. I went to the doctor the next day and he gave me some eye drops. Then it went to my right eye. I used eyedrops on both eyes. It started to clear up. Then my eyes weren't red anymore. For a couple days, I still woke up with dried pus on the bottom of my eyelashes. Then for a few days, I didn't. Then one day I woke up and there was the gunky stuff in my right eye again, but it went away the day after. But even now I sometimes get a little discharge, and a couple days ago I woke up yet again with some watery discharge along my bottom eyelashes. I didn't get it the next day. My eyes weren't pink or anything though, so I don't think I got pink eye again... So, what's wrong? I have no idea why I keep getting watery discharge but no pink eye. I use eyedrops sometimes after I get it, but not always. Am I thinking too much? Also, is it safe to wear contacts?

My Granfather age 77 was diagnosed with lung cancer. He has not smoked for almost 25 years. The tumor is at stage 3B (I'm not really sure what the B means but, I'm guessing in cancer in 3 spots) and it is pressing against his heart and one collapsed lung. He also has congestive heart failure. Currently he is in the hospital with phnemonia. I know he is not going to survive this, but my question is: is it really worth doing the radiation treatment to get a few more months of life? I'm not trying to be mean but, practical. The radiation is going to make him more tired than he already is so why put him throuhg more pain than needed. My family also has not talked about making hospice arrangements.

ANY THOUGHTS?

in the last 10-14 days i have had a series of symptoms that to me are not all that alarming...until I discovered the lump.

and the first 2 were unsettleing, but I just figured I wasn't drinking enough water...extremely bad smelling urine, and gas( were talking the same smell for about 2 weeks) I am concerned about kidneys maybe? I have not changed my eating habbits at all...and have never had these problems before.
I have also been very achy...sore muscles, and it seems that my joints are achy as well.

typical allergy symptoms...sore throat, drainage, headache, fatigue, etc...
any clue what this could be?!
.
The only thing different is that I quit smoking 10 days ago...however, i believe this is unrelated

My grandmother is suffering from muscle spasms. Sometimes it is not there at all, but then on other days it's very, very violent (going all over the place). It's mainly the arm, and also the legs. Today she was fine, but then later when the jerks started, she also started slurring her words.

Scan results and etc are taking ages, so any help as to what it could be are appreciated?

Michel De Nostrdamus was born in France more then 500 years before and he mentioned in his book 1st, 2nd and 3rd world war will take place. Ist and 2nd world war already took place, everybody know and this is in the history. So, he was 100% correct. Now in the 3rd world war he mentioned in the book that 80% of the population on this planet earth will die and war will continue till 2026.

Dear Sir
My Friend is suffering from Blood Cancer (CML) for the last 1 year. He is taking medicines from the Hospital but I believe he is NOT giving proper attention to his daily diet & all prescribed by the Doctors.

Please Explain what is CML Blood Cancer.
