I'm 37 and have been dealing with severe acne for years. My doctor put me on Sotret 20 mg, but I'm also experiencing hair fall. He advised me to try Adgain for it. I'm a bit concerned and curious if it's safe to take both Adgain and Sotret together. Will there be any negative effects?

I'm struggling with persistent irritation and itchiness in my groin area, especially after long drives in hot and humid conditions. Initially, keeping the area dry and using Candid Clotrimazole powder would help, but now it seems to have become a recurring issue. The skin's darker with some scaling, and the itchiness and burning sensation return if I skip a bath or don't use the powder every 12 hours. I'm wearing loose clothing and trying to keep the area as dry as possible, but I'm not seeing any permanent relief. What can I do to completely get rid of this problem?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm really trying to figure out what's going on with me. It's been so confusing and stressful. Any advice or insights?

Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.

I've been using Acutret 20mg for my combination skin, and it's been working really well so far, but I'm starting to worry about the side effects. Could it potentially cause hair fall or have any kind of impact on my hair?

Acutret 20mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat acne. While isotretinoin is effective for acne, it can have some side effects. Hair loss is a rare side effect of isotretinoin, but it can happen in some cases. If you are experiencing hair loss or any other concerning side effects, it is important to consult your doctor.
