I don t know what s causing all this, I have gained 17 pounds and I feel very depressed because the weight. Would Pamelor be bette for me for mood, anxiety and some depressions? I am eating very little trying to loose at list 10 pounds but not even one came off. I haf to cancel my trip yo Rome 2 times, I don t want my family to see me like this I don t want to worry them! What can I do? Please help, what kind of doctor should I see? Any answer that can help? Please I am so tired of waiting and trying medication. Biancs

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of bruise on arm, my treatment advice is:

1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen. Consult your physician for prescription.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin and azithromycin to be taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
