Following answers to your questions

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.

1. You say to have sores on your skin. Can you please send a photo of them to me?

2. You say to have tried 2 antibiotics. Now, sores could be skin Infection possible bacterial or fungal.

Antibiotics help with bacterial infection while antifungal treatment with fungal infection.

Skin scrapping examination will determine the right type of infection.

3. Antibiotics use is associated with alteration in intestinal flora. This explains why you are having stomach problems from 3weeks now.

Start probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora.

Looking forward to have the requested photo in.
Dr.Albana
