Question

I'm using Persol forte for my acne and it's causing some irritation, redness, and even peeling on my skin. Should I stop using it or is there something I can do to help with these side effects? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

Question

I've been using Betnovate N for the past 5 years, but I stopped about four months ago, and now my face is itchy and there's a lot of pigmentation. I've seen four dermatologists so far with no improvement. My skin is just not getting better, and I'm really frustrated. What should I do? Nothing seems to help with the itching and pigmentation.

Question

I'm a little worried about switching from isotretinoin capsules to tablets. My dermatologist started me on a 5-month isotretinoin course for moderate to severe acne, and I've been using Saferet 20 mg capsules for 2 months now. But my pharmacist now only has Saferet 20 mg in tablet form. Is there any difference between taking isotretinoin as capsules or tablets? Which one is more effective or better for me? Would love some guidance on this.

Question

I'm thinking about taking vitamin supplements after my CO2 fraxel laser resurfacing. I'm hoping it might help reduce the downtime. Could you tell me if that's a good idea? If so, what vitamins should I consider and how much should I take?
