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 allI'm struggling with this jock itch around my groin and butt area. I've tried using antifungal ointment, but it hasnt made a difference. Some spots have even turned dark, and it's getting really uncomfortable. Do you think I might need to take tablets for it?
It sounds like your jock itch may be resistant to topical treatment alone. In this case, oral anti-fungal medications may be necessary to effectively treat the infection. I recommend taking **Fluconazole** 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Additionally, continue using the anti-fungal ointment as directed for better results. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry to prevent further irritation.

I've been using Momate F cream USP on my face for some time and the results have been pretty great. I'm just a bit worried and curious if there are any side effects I should be aware of. Also, if I stop using it, is there a chance the spots will come back?
Momate F cream, containing mometasone and fusidic acid, can have side effects like skin thinning, redness, itching, and increased risk of infections, and if stopped, the underlying skin condition may recur, but the spots themselves may not necessarily "grow back" worse than before, however, it's essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice on usage and discontinuation.

I'm really worried about these white patches on the inside of the skin on my penis. I've tried so many creams to get rid of them, but nothing seems to work. I'm even considering removing the skin as a last resort. Could you please help me find a way to get my skin back to its normal color?
Based on the symptoms, it's possible that your son had a viral infection, which is common in children. *Immediate Action* 1. *Consult the clinic doctor again*: Update them on the recurring pain and seek further guidance. 2. *Monitor temperature*: Keep an eye on your son's temperature and administer medication as prescribed. 3. *Pain management*: Continue administering Crosin (Paracetamol) as directed by the doctor. *General Guidance* 1. *Rest and hydration*: Ensure your son gets plenty of rest and fluids to help his body recover. 2. *Observation*: Closely monitor your son's symptoms and report any changes or concerns to the doctor. 3. *Follow-up appointment*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with the doctor to review your son's progress. *When to Seek Emergency Care* 1. *Severe pain*: If the pain worsens or becomes unbearable. 2. *High fever*: If the fever exceeds 104F (40C) or persists for an extended period. 3. *Difficulty breathing*: If your son experiences difficulty breathing or shows signs of distress.
