I'm in my second week of taking isotretinoin at 40mg a day, and I've noticed some whiteheads popping up on my cheeks. Does isotretinoin actually help with getting rid of these, or should I be prepared for more breakouts before it gets better? Curious to know what I should expect in the coming weeks.

View allHaving vitiligo for the past 16 years on my legs, palms, feet, penile area, chest, etc., and I regularly use Vitiskin, Topcort, and Topgraf. Do you think these treatments are effective in managing it? Should I be doing anything differently or trying out other treatments? It's been such a long time, and I'm a bit concerned about the spread and whether I'm on the right track with these products. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm really curious about something. I've been using Fair and Lovely cream for the past six months, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, I'm a bit worried that if I stop using it, my face might get darker again. Is that something I should expect?
Fair and Lovely cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, which can cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin with long-term use. It is not recommended to use hydroquinone-containing products for extended periods of time without medical supervision. If you stop using the cream, your skin may revert back to its original condition, but it is important to transition to a different skincare routine to maintain the results. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on alternative skincare products.

I've just had an appointment with my doctor, and they mentioned that I have impetigo, but it got triggered by sunburn. I know impetigo is contagious, right? Does this still hold true even when it develops from sunburn? I'm a bit worried about spreading it to others.
