I'm a bit worried about taking isotroin 5mg daily for my acne since my dermatologist prescribed it for a whole month. What side effects should I be aware of? I'm just not sure about taking it for that long. Can anyone help with some advice?

Isotroin is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne. Some possible side effects of isotretinoin include dry skin, chapped lips, dry eyes, nosebleeds, muscle aches, and increased sensitivity to the sun. It can also cause changes in mood, such as depression or aggressive tendencies. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and report any concerning symptoms

View allI've been dealing with itching around my testicles for about three months now and the cream my doctor suggested hasn't really helped. I'm getting worried and wonder what else I could do to help with this issue. Do you have any advice on how to improve this situation?
Use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole on the affected areas. Take guidance from a doctor to determine the frequency of application. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear made of breathable fabric, and avoiding scratching the area can also help alleviate the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about this condition on my leg. There's something like "KARATMarathi" there, and the blood around it has just turned into a solid red clot under my skin. It looks really concerning and I'm unsure if what I'm doing is right. I've started taking DISPERZYME and CEFCHAMP 325, twice every day, as prescribed. Do you think I'm on the right track to treat this issue, or should I consider something else?
Karat (Marathi word) typically refers to a boil or abscess.
