Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have gone through your complaints and reviewed the attached prescription.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to continue with the vitamin syrup and take tablet containing vitamin B12 1500 microgram once daily for 2-3 weeks. This will help your weakness and pain.
For the dents I would recommend you to apply glycolic acid 6 percent cream on the dents at night along with application of a broad spectrum sunscreen during the day time.
These are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I understand that you recommend to use Vitamin B 12 tab and Glycolic acid 6% cream & sunscreen. Please suggest me the name of the product/brand of Vitamin B 12 tab and Glycolic acid 6% cream that I can purchase and use.

Besides that I have Sebopsoriasis from my age 24 and its like too much dandruff formation only in my head. For that I am using Tea Tree shampoo. Please suggest me some medication for this problem also.

Thank you.

Hello,

First of all Wishing You a Happy New Year!

I am taking tablet ME 12 OD once daily after breakfast and I have taken 2 tabs from the time you recommended. I am feeling little better from the pain in my skin of back and chest. I think I will recover soon.

Till now, I have not been using Glyco 6 cream. I am very worry regarding my dents on my face now. Could you please suggest me how to cover and fill-up my dents and to become smooth skin.

If any medicine available, please mention the product name and dose.

Thank you for your valuable suggestions.

Brief Answer:
Glyco 6 cream, laser or microneedling sessions for dents

Detailed Answer:
Happy new year to you too!
For the cure of dents no oral medication is available.
You can apply glyco 6 percent cream on the dents at night for atleast 6-8 weeks.
For better results you can consult a dermatologist and go for laser treatment or micro needling sessions,
They will be more effective in the treatment of scars.
