Question

I'm currently on tretiva 20mg for my acne and I've been drinking milk with turmeric powder, something I've done for the past few days. I'm worried because I've heard that vitamin A is contraindicated when taking tretiva. Can I continue with my turmeric milk while on this medication?

Question

I've got this thing happening with my nipples where the skin turns dark brown or even black and gets really hard. It seems dry and cracked, and when I peel it off and use some cream or lotion, it gets better. But as soon as I stop using the cream, it goes back to how it was before. This has been happening for about two years now, and Im 19 years old. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and what I should do?

Question

I've been using Betnovate C on my face for about six months to manage pimples and help with skin lightening, but as soon as I stop using it, the pimples come back. I usually apply it at night. Some friends say it's not good to use it continuously. Could you advise me on what I should do next?
