I'm a 26-year-old and currently unmarried, and I've been dealing with some hair fall issues. I went to see a dermatologist about it, and they recommended I take Androanagen tablets for three months, totaling 90 tablets. However, I recently heard that these tablets might lead to male infertility, which has me a bit worried. Could you help me understand if it's safe for me to take Androanagen?

I'm really struggling to find a cleanser or face wash that's gentle enough for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I need something that wont burn or irritate but can still clean my pores deeply, getting rid of all the dirt and makeup residue in just one wash. At the same time, it should be effective against my acne and pimples. Any recommendations?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm a 26-year-old guy and I've been taking Tretiva 10 mg for my scalp infection. The dermatologist suggested I use it for 30 days to help with the small pimples filled with white pus on my scalp. But I read about some possible side effects in the patient information leaflet, like psychiatric disorders, pancreatitis, and pseudotumor cerebri, and I'm starting to worry a bit. Do you think it's a good idea to stop taking it? I'm concerned about any possible effects on my brain or thinking since I'm a student. Also, I didn't have any blood tests before starting this medication. What should I do?

Tretiva 10 mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne and some cases of scalp infection. While it is important to be aware of the potential side effects listed in the patient information leaflet, it is also important to consider the benefits of the medication in treating your scalp infection. In your case, since the dermatologist has prescribed a low dose of 1 tretiva 10 mgday for 30 days, the risk of experiencing severe side effects such as psychiatric disorders, pancreatitis, or pseudotumor cerebri is relatively low. These side effects are more commonly associated with higher doses and long-term use of isotretinoin. As a student, it is crucial to prioritize your health and well-being.

I've been on 30 mg of Accutane for about seven months now and my skin is definitely breaking out less, but I've started getting these painful bumps under my skin that are filled with a clear fluid, kinda like water. They seem to keep popping up on my forehead and chin. Just when one goes away, another one shows up somewhere else. Why is this happening and what can I do to get rid of them?
