Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Suddenly, I am getting whiteheads around my nose and chin and sometimes on cheeks, since two years. My nose is heavily targeted.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please send me the photos of the area where you are having whiteheads. There is a chance of it being molluscum contagiosum or milia. So, the exact treatment can be suggested after looking at the photos.
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
Thank you so much for your kind revert. Here, I have attached photos for your reference. Along with whiteheads, I am also getting red painful bumps around the neck and chin which leaves black marks. And, I also have pigmentation marks on cheeks.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I went through the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is folliculitis. Do not apply any oily cream or oil on it. I suggest tablet Augmentin 625 mg (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) twice a day. Apply T-bact cream (Mupirocin) on the bumps. Continue this for two weeks. Check for blood sugar also. Do not apply any other cream.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
One thing I would like to inform is that I am also suffering from a skin allergy since last two years along with folliculitis. I consulted two to three doctors but none are able to treat it. I need to take Patadin tablet every day. I also have a test for allergy which I have attached here for your kind reference along with my few test reports.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I saw your reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity).
There is mention of parthenium allergy which is a very common type of skin allergy.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
What is the role of Teczine-M 10 tablet? Would it suppress the allergy or cure it? I looked online for the plant you mentioned and came to the conclusion that around my house there is no such plant in existence. The nearest this plant is at is, at about a distance of 300 m. Can it affect me?
Thank you.
