I'm about to start taking isotroin 20mg and I'm feeling really anxious about it. Is this medication actually going to help me, or should I be worried about any dangers?

Isotroin 20mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne. It is considered helpful in improving acne by reducing oil production and preventing clogged pores. It should be safe for you unless you are known to be allergic to it or experience concerning side effects.

I've been dealing with rashes, itching, and kharish recently. I've been taking Tazloc 40 in the morning and Clopitab CV20 and Dilzem CD120 in the evening for my heart condition. Could this be related to my medications, or do you think it's something else? I'm just a bit worried and unsure what to do next. Any advice would be really helpful.

I've been using this salicylic acid face wash called Speelac, as my doctor suggested, but after just two days of using it twice daily, my skin's feeling super dry and hurts a lot. It's like I can feel my skin burning when I put on any ointments. Is this something normal or should I be worried? I've also been using Acnemoist and Derivative CMS gel. Would appreciate any insights on this!

You may be experiencing an adverse reaction to the salicylic acid face wash. The dryness, pain, and burning sensation you are feeling are not normal and may indicate that the product is too harsh for your skin. I recommend stopping the use of the Speelac face wash and consult your doctor or dermatologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe your skin.

I'm noticing some white patches on my fingers and I've had them for a couple of months now. They don't seem to be spreading, which is a bit of a relief, but its still worrying me. After visiting a doctor, he told me it's vitiligo, but I'm not completely convinced. He prescribed some medications like Viterma capsules, Dermadew cream, Tacmod forte, Melanocyl ointment, Placentrex gel, and HHSONE cream. I've attached a few pictures for reference. Does this sound like vitiligo to you, and do you think these meds can actually help with it?

Viterma and dermadew cream is advised for 2-4 weeks for local application ,once daily.If any side-effects like itching,burning,or allergic reactions kindly consult dermatologist.
