Not really: All medications used after an ischemic stroke (cholesterol plaque rupture causing an interruption in blood flow) are treated with blood thinners.

Question 9

how to remove these spots off my face?i used spot treatment but it is not working .what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Skin: There is little the doctors here can do or answer. Your question is not descriptive or in any gives a clue as to the 'spots' you are concerned with.  Perhaps re-asking this question with more information  

but, in general it is very hard to say much about skin on line. The diagnosis of the various skin troubles are mostly diagnosed with visual inspection.

Question 10

what is the best way to treat stubborn painful acne on the face. i have tried neutrogena on the spot treatment and it just keeps getting worse?

Accepted Answer

Basics: All acne is an individual reflection of genetics &amp; environment. While most consider this a ritual of passage for the teen years for some it will last into their 30's and beyond. Treatment must be individualized to the person after an exam &amp; review of past treatments. Find a dermatologist and develop a daily skin care plan. Any medications must be selected through this process.
