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 had ringworm a while back, and though it's treated now, I'm left with some pretty noticeable scars. The ones on my butt are really dark, and I've got them on my back and midriff too. Is there a way to get rid of them completely in a few months? Are there any creams or treatments you would recommend for this?

You can use a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. One such cream is Tri-Luma, which should be applied once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can also consider using Mederma, which is specifically formulated to improve the appearance of scars. Remember to apply sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and prevent further darkening of the scars.
