Question

I'm dealing with chickenpox; it's been about two days and the blisters are getting pretty uncomfortable. A friend mentioned that his doctor recommended Fucidin cream when he had chickenpox. Do you think it would be okay for me to use Fucidin on these infected areas too, or should I stick to something else?

Question

I'm wondering if it's safe to start taking isotroin 20 mg and some other tablets that my doctor prescribed without having any blood tests done first. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about any health risks or potential side effects?

Question

I'm taking finasteride 1mg every day for my pattern hair loss, and I've also started taking isotretinoin 5mg for my cystic acne that flares up now and then. I usually take isotretinoin for a few weeks until the acne goes away. I'm worried if these two drugs might interact with each other. Is it safe to use both of them at the same time?
