Can I Take Tetralysal To Get Rid The Spots?

Hello, I have one tetralysal 300mg left from a course which I didn't ned to finish (the medication cleared everything up very well and quickly). Can I just take this one to tackle a couple of spots that have kept coming back in exactly the same place over the last few weeks? Thank you.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No, you should not withdraw the treatment. Incomplete treatment can develop resistant in the organisms. Which makes your condition untreatable.

Completing the course has advantage that it will clear up all the bacteria. There after infection won't recurr.

You can also apply antibiotic cream over the bump like polysporin.

Please wash the area frequently with soap and water. Avoid injury to the affected part otherwise it will keep recurring.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
