I'm noticing some black spots under my armpits lately and I'm not sure what's causing them. Could this be some kind of allergic reaction? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance. What do you think it could be?

These black spots could be due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with insulin resistance or diabetes. I recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin, such as Melalite Forte cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, maintaining good blood sugar control through diet and exercise can also help improve these spots.

View allIve been on Acutret 20 since the end of May and usually check in with my doctor monthly. My last visit was in mid-July, where he told me to keep taking Acutret 20 after breakfast and Azid 500 before dinner three times a week for two weeks. Since then, my acne has gotten a bit better, with just 23 pimples popping up in the last month. Unfortunately, I cant see him until September 9th. Should I keep taking these meds or should I stop until I can get more advice?
It's great to hear that your acne has improved with the current treatment regimen. Acutret 20 (Isotretinoin) is a powerful medication for acne, and Azithromycin 500 (Azid 500) is an antibiotic that helps combat bacterial infections. Given your situation, here are some guidelines to consider: Continuing Treatment 1. Acutret 20: You can continue taking Acutret 20 as prescribed (after breakfast) until you can meet your doctor again. 2. Azid 500: Since you've been instructed to take Azid 500 thrice a week for 2 weeks, you can complete the remaining course (if any) as directed.

I'm a bit worried because I started taking the Hair bless tablet and using the regain topical solution for my hair fall back in October 2020. I've noticed that my hair volume has increased, and theres some regrowth too, but Im still dealing with hair fall. The thing thats freaking me out is that the medication seems to be causing hair growth in other places, like my stomach. Is it safe for me to keep taking the Hair bless tablet, or should I stop and just stick with the minoxidil topical solution? What do you think?
Increased hair growth on areas like the stomach due to Hairbless tablet usage is a known side effect, particularly with topical application. Since you're experiencing regrowth and increased volume, it's essential to consult your doctor to reassess the treatment plan. They may recommend stopping the Hairbless tablet or adjusting the dosage to minimize systemic absorption and prevent unwanted hair growth. Continuing topical minoxidil application may still be beneficial for hair growth, but it's crucial to discuss the best course of action with your doctor
