I'm a 28-year-old male with a dark skin tone, and I'm looking to lighten my complexion by two shades. I've read online about some medicines that could help with this, but I'm concerned about potential side effects. Is there a treatment you would recommend that's both safe and effective?

Question

I'm taking finasteride 1mg every day for my pattern hair loss, and I've also started taking isotretinoin 5mg for my cystic acne that flares up now and then. I usually take isotretinoin for a few weeks until the acne goes away. I'm worried if these two drugs might interact with each other. Is it safe to use both of them at the same time?

Question

I'm really struggling with these dark circles under my eyes and they've been around for a while. I've tried so many different things but nothing seems to work. I heard about Cipcal 500 and was wondering if it might help with this issue. Could it really make a difference?

Question

I'm a 24-year-old guy working a desk job, and I'm noticing my hair falls out quite a bit daily. Whenever I use shampoo or conditioner, I can see a lot of hair coming off in my hands. Someone suggested trying curry leaves in the morning. Do you think that could really help? What else could be causing my hair to shed so much, and are there any other remedies I should consider?
