I'm really confused about these medications. First, I was prescribed isotino 5mg for 20 days, but nothing happened to my skinno reaction or even side effects. Now, I've been given tretin iso 10mg tabs, and I'm not sure what to expect. Should I be concerned, or is there a reason why the first medication didn't work? Also, how can I send you a photo of my skin to help you see what I'm dealing with?

View allI'm having issues with my tongue the skin is peeling, it's really painful, and I can't eat anything. Could you recommend any medicine for this? Do you think those Vitamin C chewable tablets would be helpful?
Could be due to a condition called oral mucositis. Vitamin C chewable tablets may not directly help with this issue. I recommend using a topical oral gel containing a local anesthetic like lidocaine to help with the pain and a mouthwash containing a mild antiseptic like chlorhexidine gluconate to prevent infection. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a dry penis and my family doctor mentioned using a lotion or cream that has vitamin E. Can anyone recommend a brand that's effective?
You can try using Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion which contains vitamin E. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for best results.

I recently got bitten by an insect they call the Nairobi fly, and now there's this blister on my skin that's turned into scabby scales. Does the whole blistering thing and scabbiness mean it's healing, or should I be worried about it? Also, after seeing my doctor, they mentioned something about an injection. Do you think this will help with the healing process, or is there something else I should be doing?
Nairobi flies don't bite, but their body releases a toxin when in contact with the skin. Secondary infection by scratching is to be avoided. See a skin specialist if needed.
