I'm dealing with mild acne and my dermatologist put me on a sebamed facewash and nioret nanogel for nighttime use. He also recommended the ansolar gel cream sunscreen, but it's quite pricey. I'm wondering if there's a more affordable sunscreen option that will work well with the nioret nanogel I'm using. Could you please advise?
For a cheaper alternative to Ansolar Gel Cream, consider: 1. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Sunscreen ( 500) 2. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen Milk ( 1,200) 3. Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ ( 800) When choosing a sunscreen to use with Nioret Nanogel: 1. Opt for a non-comedogenic (oil-free) sunscreen. 2. Select a physical sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) for gentle, effective protection. 3. Ensure the sunscreen is fragrance-free to minimize irritation. Consult your dermatologist before making any changes to your skincare routine.

I've been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata and my doctor suggested I take methyl prednisolone tablets. Is it safe for me to also use Nervijen and Etoshine tablets? I'm dealing with some heel pain too, so I'm just a bit concerned about mixing these meds. Can you advise?
