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.

My 15-day-old baby has developed a rash on her face, and I'm concerned about whether it's safe to use the Dermadew lotion there. We had a similar rash on her neck before, and our doctor recommended Dermadew, which seemed to help clear it up. Is it okay to use it on her face too? Also, I'm curious about what might be causing these rashes on her skin. Any idea what could be going on?

Yes, you can use dermadew lotion on your baby's face for the rash. The rash on your baby's skin could be due to various reasons such as irritation from clothing, heat, drooling, or a reaction to skincare products. Dermadew lotion contains ingredients like Aloe Vera, Olive Oil, and Almond Oil which help in soothing and moisturizing the skin. You can apply a thin layer of dermadew lotion on the affected areas of your baby's face after gently cleansing the skin. If the rash persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
