Question 1

I'm struggling with being really thin, almost underweight, and it's been tough because I really want to gain some weight. I've tried things like eating small meals and adding fruit juices, but nothing seems to work. I thought about using a mass gainer like Endura Mass, but every time I use stuff like that or even multivitamins, I get bad acne. I feel like using a mass gainer is my last option, but I'm worried about the acne coming back. Any advice on what I can do?

Accepted Answer

While mass gainers are an option, it's important to select the right type and ingredients that suit your body. Focus on whole food sources, consider low-acne-risk alternatives for supplements, and maintain good skincare to balance both weight gain and skin health. Consulting professionals for personalized plans is always a good idea.

Question 2

I've been worried ever since I used Betnovat for a month or two last year and then stopped when I found out it could be harmful. A couple of weeks after I quit, I noticed these bumps showing up and now my skin is really sensitive and dry. Do you think these are side effects from Betnovat, and if they are, will my skin eventually recover? How long might it take for everything to get back to normal? I've started using Cetaphil cleanser and Physiogel cream, but I'm not totally sure if any of this is related to Betnovat. Could you advise on this?

Question 3

I'm feeling a bit unsure about how to properly use the Clindac A gel and Dervia CMS gel that my doctor recommended. Could you give me some guidance on the right way to apply them, like the order or if there's a specific routine to follow? I'm just worried about not using them correctly and want to make sure I get the best results. What's the best approach here?

Accepted Answer

To use Clindac A gel, you should first wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and pat it dry. Then, apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected skin once or twice daily, as directed by your doctor. Make sure to avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. For Dervia CMS gel, you should also clean the affected area before application. Apply a small amount of the gel to the affected skin once daily, preferably in the evening. Gently massage it into the skin until it is absorbed. Both gels are for external use only.

I'm dealing with oral lichen planus and I'm having a hard time finding a toothpaste. I'm looking for something that doesn't have sodium laurel sulfate, fluoride, mint, or menthol. Do you have any recommendations?

Biotene toothpaste. It is free from SLS, fluoride, mint, and menthol, making it suitable for individuals with oral lichen planus. Use it twice daily for effective oral care.
