I've got these yellow nails that are really painful, and I'm not sure who I should see about it. My fingernails are turning yellow, and it's worrying me. Any idea which doctor is best to consult for something like this?

Yellow nails can be a sign of a fungal infection or other underlying health issues. You can start by using an over-the-counter antifungal nail cream like Lamisil cream twice a day on the affected nails. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine. Make sure to keep your nails clean and dry, and avoid wearing nail polish until the condition improves. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Question

Is it alright to take oral glutathione if I'm currently on isotretinoin 10 mg per day? I just started the isotretinoin today, and I'm a bit worried about any potential interactions or side effects.

I'm dealing with super sensitive skin and I've been trying out different creams. My neighbor suggested I try Skin Lite cream, and I've been using it once a day in the evening for about three weeks now. At first, everything was fine and my skin got a bit fairer. But during the second week, my face started getting irritated every time I washed it with Dove. Now, in the third week, I'm noticing some white patches on my face. Should I keep using the cream or is it best to stop?

Question

I've been dealing with this itching for about a week now. The skin specialist prescribed me NUFORCE 400 to take once weekly, and also gave me some ointment called CLOTRIMAZOLE along with CETRIZINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE. But my condition feels pretty serious. What should I do?
