I'm currently seeing a dermatologist near my home for dandruff issues and she has good reviews. She's a female doctor. I also need advice on anal tags after my laser piles surgery and want to get an STD checkup. Can she handle these issues too or should I see another specialist?

A dermatologist can address skin tags and offer STD testing, but a proctologist may be better for post-surgical anal concerns.

I've been prescribed 5 mg of Tretiva for my acne, and I'm wondering if that's enough to keep breakouts at bay over the next 20 days. I'm nervous it might not be enough. Any insights?

yes.

I've been using xpecia gel and keraxl hair serum for about two weeks just like my dermatologist recommended. I'm concerned because Im not seeing any changes, and Ive read that my hair should be shedding if the minoxidil is doing its thing. Plus, my hair is really short since I've recently gone bald. What should I be doing differently?

use previous gel
