Question

I'm dealing with back acne that's leaving scars, and my doctor suggested I take Restreta twice a day before meals. I'm a bit concerned and curious; what exactly does this medication do?

1. *Acne treatment*: Primarily used to treat severe acne, including back acne, by reducing oil production and preventing clogged pores. 2. *Preventing scarring*: By treating acne, Restreta helps prevent scarring and hyperpigmentation. 3. *Reducing inflammation*: Isotretinoin has anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne.

Question

I had a leech bite on my toe about a week ago while I was hiking, and now it's still really itchy and the area feels hard. What kind of doctor should I consult about this? Are there any good home remedies I could try in the meantime to help with the itching and hardness?

Question

I've been using this topical lulifin 1 cream and some oral capsules that my doctor prescribed for a fungal issue in my groin area. Its only been two days, but my skin turned all milky white and it's starting to peel with tiny blisters, plus there's this burning sensation. Is this a normal reaction? I should probably mention that I've used an over-the-counter cream before and ended up with thin skin and stretch marks. Could that have something to do with what's happening now, or is this something else?

Question

I've been using Tugain solution to help with my hair thickness. I'm thinking about switching to Indulekha hair oil. Do you think that's a good idea? Would it still be effective for hair thickness, or should I stick with Tugain? I'm a bit concerned about making a change like this. What would you recommend?
