I'm concerned about how dark my skin is and I'm curious about any pills that can help reduce melanin. Are there whitening pills that could help make my skin lighter?

I've been dealing with acne and got advice from a dermatologist to try isotroin 10mg. I think it helped a lot, but now I'm experiencing blurred vision. Is this something that can happen with isotroin, or could it just be a random coincidence?

Blurred vision as a side effect of isotretinoin (Accutane) is rare but possible, as it can cause eye problems like dryness, irritation, or even inflammatory conditions like uveitis; however, it's also possible that the blurred vision is coincidental or related to another underlying condition, so it's essential to consult your dermatologist or an ophthalmologist

I'm dealing with a pretty uncomfortable situation here. I recently got over jock itch by using Clotrimazol Candid dusting powder, but now I've developed a small, pea-sized pus spot in my groin area. It burst open last night, and now Ive got this exposed wound that makes it tough to walk. I tried using Dettol Antiseptic liquid to clean it up, but it sometimes has a bad smell. Im really worried about it getting infected, so Id like to know what I can do to help it heal. Any advice?

I'm really worried about my hair. I used to have really thick, jet-black hair ever since I was a kid, but over the last few years, my hair has been falling out so much. Now, it's not only thinning but also turned from black to brown. Plus, there are these red bumps and a lot of dandruff on my scalp. I'm not sure what could be causing all this. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I can do about it?
