I'm just wondering if it's okay to take Isotroin 20mg instead of Isotretinoin 20mg? Are they essentially the same thing? Just wanted to make sure before I go ahead.

I've been having some hair fall issues, so my doctor put me on these B12 supplements. But after about two weeks, I started getting really bad reactionslike rashes and acne on my hands and face. I stopped the supplements immediately, but it's been over a week, and my acne is still there and hasn't improved at all. Should I be doing something specific to help with this, or will it just clear up on its own eventually? I'm kind of worried and not sure what to do next.

This could be drug reaction detailed evaluation is required for your problem,better see Dermatologist for further management

I'm dealing with a skin fungal infection, and it's been really itchy lately, especially at night. I was thinking about using Cloben G cream, but I'm not sure if it's the right choice or if it's a steroid. Could you recommend a good topical antifungal cream? I could really use your advice because it's getting tough to sleep with all the itching.

Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication, while Beclomethasone is a corticosteroid. It is not recommended to use steroid-containing creams for fungal infections without a doctor's prescription, as they can sometimes worsen the infection or cause other side effects. For fungal infections on the skin and private parts, I recommend using Terbinafine cream. You can apply Terbinafine cream twice a day on the affected areas. It is a potent antifungal medication that can help relieve itching and treat the fungal infection effectively. Remember to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to promote healing.
