Brief Answer:
Kindly do not stop the medication abruptly.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Young fellow,

Welcome again tot the forum and thanks for your follow up.

I can make out that you have stopped the medications. If you can go through my suggestions in previous of the queries then can make out that I suggested that in my patients I start with 2-3 tablets/day for few weeks and as soon as good effect is maintained then reduce to one to two tablets per day for next few weeks and then alternate days in next few weeks.

So getting through above suggestion it is too early to stop the medication. I again suggest you to restart the medication for 4 weeks. If I were your treating dermatologist then would have opted to restart the medication by twice daily doses for 4 weeks then reduced to once daily for next 4 weeks and then would have evaluated the condition and accordingly tapered the dose.

I suggest you to take the medication as guided above for 8 weeks.

I hope these information will help you in dealing the condition better. If you have any further queries I will be glad to help you.

With good health wishes,

Hello Young fellow,

Do give me a follow up after 4 weeks of medications. If at all you feel any increase in the lesion then on that day you can take the medicine for 3 times also. We will follow the things according the occurrence of the lesion.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks a lot for sending the latest pictures and have compared it from the previous one.

I can make out that the area is much better than before. Let me reassure you that your condition is one of the very commonly seen condition and can be managed easily without any side effects.

The tablet suggested is one of the safest one and can be taken for long period of time without any side effects.

Do continue the same for next four weeks as suggested and give me a follow up after 4 weeks without stopping it.
