I'm a 39-year-old woman and had my gallbladder removed about a year ago. Six months later, I started getting pimples and marks on my skin, which I've never dealt with before. My skin is pretty fair, and I've tried using some products like sebeam soap, cleargel, and epiduo, as recommended by a dermatologist. It's been three weeks, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What's going on, and what else can I do to clear these up?

I recently stopped taking my iron tablets and I've noticed that my skin is getting more pigmented. I'm really curious if this will go away now that I've quit the pills. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I've been dealing with telogen effluvium after recently having a fever, and I'm really worried about how long this might last. Can you give me an idea about the typical duration for this to go away? I'm just feeling a bit anxious about it.

Telogen effluvium after fever typically lasts for about 6 months. During this time, it is important to ensure you are getting adequate nutrition and managing stress levels to support hair regrowth. You can consider using minoxidil solution 2% to promote hair growth.

I'm on Sebifine 250mg for about a week now and need to continue it for the next two weeks. I'm wondering if it's okay to get the COVID vaccine, either Covishield or Covaxin, during this treatment. Is there any interaction I should worry about, or is it safe to proceed with the vaccination?
