View allI'm really curious about treating these little bumps on my lips called Fordyce granules. I've heard that tretinoin gel 0.025 might help, but I'm not sure if it's effective for this. Are there better options I should consider? I'm just looking for something that actually works.
Tretinoin gel 0.025 can be beneficial in reducing Fordyce granules on the lips to some extent. Fordyce granules are small, yellowish or white bumps on the lips caused by the abnormal presence of sebaceous glands. _Benefits of Tretinoin Gel 0.025_ 1. _Exfoliates skin_: Tretinoin helps remove dead skin cells, which can aid in reducing the appearance of Fordyce granules. 2. _Unclogs pores_: Tretinoin can help unclog pores, reducing the size and visibility of Fordyce granules. _Alternative Treatments_ If Tretinoin gel 0.025 is not effective or suitable for you, consider the following alternatives: 1. _Isotretinoin_: A stronger retinoid that can be more effective in reducing Fordyce granules. 2. _Microdermabrasion_: A non-invasive exfoliating treatment that can help reduce the appearance of Fordyce granules. 3. _Laser treatment_: Ablative or non-ablative laser treatments can help reduce the size and visibility of Fordyce granules. 4. _Chemical peels_: A solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers and help reduce the appearance of Fordyce granules.

I've been noticing some hair loss around my sideburns, near my ears, and on my forehead, which is already pretty high, and even at the edges. I can feel some inflammation on my scalp in certain spots, although theres nothing visible. Its a bit uncomfortable, especially when I touch those areas. Should I be worried, or is there something I can do about it?
If the inflammation is related to seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff, a medicated shampoo with ketoconazole or salicylic acid may help reduce inflammation. For male pattern baldness, treatments like minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia) can help slow down hair loss and promote regrowth. If its a condition like alopecia areata or psoriasis, your doctor may recommend topical steroids or immune-modulating creams.consult your demat
