I'm 28 and suddenly dealing with acne, which is totally new to me. My dermatologist put me on Isotretinoin 20 mg, but now I'm worried. They warned me about not getting pregnant during treatment and mentioned something about contraception, but I'm more concerned about what happens after. Is it safe to try for a baby 6 months later? Could there be any impact on my fertility or sexual health? Would really appreciate some clarity on this.

I've been using Tugain solution to help with my hair thickness. I'm thinking about switching to Indulekha hair oil. Do you think that's a good idea? Would it still be effective for hair thickness, or should I stick with Tugain? I'm a bit concerned about making a change like this. What would you recommend?

chemical free oils would work,consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair.
