I'm currently taking Acutret tablets and I've heard that using any cosmetic cream while on this medication might not be a good idea. Can you tell me why that is or what might happen if I do use some creams?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
When taking Acutret (Isotretinoin), it is generally recommended to avoid using any cosmetic creams that contain harsh ingredients, as Isotretinoin can make your skin more sensitive and prone to irritation. It is best to use gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizers and sunscreens. Applying creams with harsh ingredients may lead to increased skin irritation, redness, and peeling. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider or dermatologist for specific recommendations on skincare products while taking Acutret.

View allHey, I've been taking Follihair tablets for over a year now, and I've just picked up another year's supply. Do you think it's okay to keep using them for this long? Also, I've noticed that the ingredients have changed a bit. The old tablets had 10 mg of biotin, but the new ones only have 30 mcg, along with some other new vitamins and minerals. With such a big difference in biotin, do you think the new tablets will still work as well as the old ones? I'm mainly asking because biotin is supposed to be a key ingredient for hair growth, right?
Biotin is indeed an important ingredient for promoting hair growth, but the newly added vitamins and minerals in the new formulation may also contribute to overall hair health. It is advisable to continue using the new formulation and monitor any changes in hair growth or health. It is generally safe to use follihair tablets for an extended period of time, as they are commonly used for hair growth and hair health.

I've got these rashes around my private area that were starting to feel better when I was using candid B powder, but now there's this painful lump that's just popped up recently. I'm worried and trying to figure out what might be causing this and what kind of treatment would help. Any ideas?
The lump around your private area could be a result of a skin infection, possibly an abscess or swollen lymph node. I recommend seeing a doctor for an examination, as they might prescribe antibiotics or drain the lump if necessary. In the meantime, avoid tight clothing and keep the area clean.
