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'm trying to decide between Opexa gel and Mederma for scar removal and I'm wondering which one works better. Can you also recommend a good cream specifically for acne scars?

I'm 28 and have struggled with severe nodular acne, and unfortunately, my skin is still really sensitive. I occasionally get acne breakouts too. I've been using Epitheliale AH skin repair cream and a herbal acne cream as part of my skincare routine. Now, I'm starting to notice signs of aging like dry patches, fine lines, dullness, and some spots. I'm nervous about visiting salons for facials or cleanups due to hygiene concerns. I'm trying to figure out how to start an anti-aging regimen at home that won't trigger breakouts. Ive heard that a lot of anti-aging products have heavy moisturizers that might clog pores. Can you suggest any products that are safe for acne-prone skin but also keep it moisturized enough? Also, Im hoping for something cost-effective because I'm not looking to spend too much. What would you recommend?

Dermatologist opinion is advised.

I've been on Isotane20 for about ten days now, and I've noticed my lips have been really dry and scaly for the past month and a half. Could this be because of the Isotane20? I'm wondering if I should keep taking it or if it's better to stop. What do you think?

Stop taking the medication.U can use Melalumin lightenerSPF 15 10gms for local application for 7 days and also tab allegra 120 mg bedtime orally for 5 days is advised to the patient.
