Question 1

I got bit on my face by a Nairobi fly and I've tried different ointments, but it seems to be spreading instead of healing. I'm using Colgate now because it's helped others, but I'm really worried about this spreading further. Can you help me figure out what to do?

Accepted Answer

1. Stop using Colgate: While it may have worked for others, using toothpaste on skin can be irritating and dry out the skin, making the situation worse.
2. Clean the area: Wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove any bacteria or debris.
3. Apply a topical antibiotic ointment: Use a topical antibiotic ointment, such as Neosporin or Bacitracin, to help prevent infection and promote healing.
4. Use a hydrocortisone cream: Apply a hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and itching.
5. Avoid scratching: Scratching can lead to further irritation, infection, and scarring.

If the symptoms persist, worsen,seek medical attention

Question 3

I've been prescribed Isotretinoin by my dermatologist for six months, and while it has worked well for me, I'm really worried about how expensive it is. I'm wondering if I can switch from Isotane to Lactezin capsules instead. Will they work the same way?

Accepted Answer

Switching from Isotane (Isotretinoin) to Lactezin Capsule isn't recommended without consulting your dermatologist first. Isotretinoin is a retinoid medication specifically designed to treat severe acne, and its effectiveness is well-documented. Lactezin, on the other hand, is typically used to treat digestive issues, not acne.

If you're concerned about the cost of Isotane, consider discussing alternative options or generic versions with your dermatologist. Some generic versions of Isotretinoin, like Isotroin 5 Capsule or Acutret 5 Capsule, might be more affordable. However, it's crucial to prioritize your acne treatment and consult with your dermatologist before making any changes to your medication.
