Question

I've been prescribed Tacroz Forte for my vitiligo, and I have patches on my genitals and forehead. I'm wondering if I should get sun exposure after applying Tacroz Forte ointment on my face. If so, how long should I be in the sun and is there a best time for this? Also, can I apply it on my lips? I was also given Clonate, so I'm unsure which one to use on my lips. Could you clarify this for me?

After applying Tacroz Forte Ointment on your face, it is recommended to avoid prolonged sun exposure. If you need to be in the sun, it is advisable to apply sunscreen with a high SPF. There is no specific time duration mentioned, but it is generally recommended to limit sun exposure and apply sunscreen regularly. Tacroz Forte Ointment should not be applied on the lips. For the lips, you can use Clonate cream as directed by your doctor. Clonate cream is suitable for application on the lips to treat any affected areas.

Question

I'm dealing with some serious hair fall and hair loss, and I'm currently on isotretinoin for my acne. I'm worried because the hair fall is getting really bad, and I'm afraid I might go bald soon. I can't stop the acne treatment because it's severe, but is there anything I can do about the hair loss? Can isotretinoin be causing this? Any advice would be appreciated.
