I'm really struggling with severe acne on my face and scalp, and the pain is unbearable, especially at night. My doctor put me on ciplox 500 and sotret 20 mg. I understand that sotret might make my acne worse before it gets better, but I'm wondering if I can switch from ciplox 500 to minoz 100 since minoz has worked well for me in the past. I just want to find a permanent solution to this acne because the pain and swelling, especially on the left side of my face, are really tough to deal with. What do you recommend?

For your acute acne, your doctor prescribed Ciplox 500 (ciprofloxacin) and Sotret 20 mg (isotretinoin).
While Minoz 100 (minocycline) may have been effective for your acne in the past, it's essential to follow your doctor's current prescription and guidance.

View allI've noticed these small white patches on my thighs, and they've been there for about a month now. They seem to be spreading, and I'm getting really worried. There's no family history of vitiligo, which makes it even more confusing. I've tried using Momate cream and Tacroz 0.1 for two weeks, but there's no sign of improvement. Now, my dermatologist has prescribed Melgain lotion in the morning, Tacroz 0.1 at night, and T.Ascozinc for a month. Do you think this will actually help, or is there anything else I should be considering?

I'm noticing some fat under my arms, and it's really noticeable and kind of bulging out. I'm not sure who to see about this. Should I be consulting a gynecologist or a dermatologist? What do you think?
To address this issue, you can consider using a topical fat reduction cream containing L-Carnitine. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for best results. Additionally, incorporating exercises targeting the underarm area, such as tricep dips and push-ups, can help tone and reduce fat in that area. Remember to maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated to support your overall weight loss goals. If you have any underlying medical conditions or concerns, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

My sister stays in a hostel, and she's caught a really bad case of head lice from the other girls there. We did some Googling and found treatment centers, but they all seem to be for kids.
