I'm a bit concerned about using Tretiva 20. I've been taking it for the last 10 days, and instead of getting better, my acne has actually gotten worse. Is this normal? Why could this be happening?

I've been using Betnovate-N cream for about 10 years, usually applying it at night in a thick layer. I stopped using it two months ago, and now I'm dealing with redness, itching, dry skin, and small blisters on my face. I've tried using aloe vera, glycerin, and a Cetaphil cleanser, but I'm still experiencing these issues along with pimples. Do you have any suggestions or remedies to help me get rid of these side effects? I'm really worried about my skin.

I'm really concerned about my hair loss, especially around the front. Are there any treatments I can try or suggestions you might have for dealing with this issue? I'd really appreciate your guidance.

A common treatment option is minoxidil. You can try using Rogaine, which is a brand name for minoxidil. Apply 1 mL of Rogaine solution to the affected area on your scalp twice daily. It may help promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
