I'm really struggling with an acne problem that I've been dealing with for what feels like forever, maybe 6 or 7 years. It's super frustrating because just when I think it's gone, it comes back again. Right now, my doctor has me on tretiva 30 mg, and it seems to be helping a lot. But I'm worried about whether there are any negative effects of taking tretiva. Can you give me some insight into what I should watch out for?

I moved to Pune about a year and a half ago, and since then I've been dealing with a lot of hair fall. It's pretty bad, like my hair comes out in full strands and in big bunches, especially when I shower. It's really worrying because my hair volume is down to about a third of what it used to be. I'm really stressed about it and was hoping you could help me figure out what might be going on and how to fix it.

Consider consulting a trichologist or dermatologist in Pune to diagnose the underlying cause of your excessive hair fall, which could be related to the city's hard water, climate change, or other environmental factors, and they can recommend personalized treatments, such as medicated shampoos, hair growth serums, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), to help address your hair loss concerns.

I've had this dry patch on the upper right side of my lip for about a month now. It doesnt hurt or itch, but I can definitely feel the dryness. When I woke up this morning, I actually noticed it more and even took some photos. I'm curious about what this could be. Any ideas?

Aquaphor Eucerin lip repair cream is advised for local application for 7 days, any side-effects consult dermatologist.
