Question 1

I'm really struggling with tinea corporis for the past year. I've tried lots of different medicines, and sometimes they help for a little while, but then the problem just comes right back. I'm getting frustrated and worried. Do you have any advice on what I can do to finally get rid of this for good?

Accepted Answer

To address this, I recommend trying a combination antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% and Betamethasone 0.05%. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected area twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Remember to maintain good hygiene practices and avoid sharing personal items to prevent reinfection.

Question 4

I'm currently on a low dose of isotretinoin, and it's really cleared up my acne. My skin's looking radiant and much fairer lately. I'm curious, does isotretinoin actually help with brightening your complexion? Also, my doctor mentioned switching to t...

Accepted Answer

Tretinoin will help you maintain that glow and skin tone after you stop isotretinoin. It continues the process of exfoliating the skin, preventing new acne, and improving skin texture and tone.
Just ensure you follow your dermatologist's advice carefully regarding how to introduce tretinoin and remember to always protect your skin with sunscreen.

Question 6

I've been off minoxidil for about three months now and I'm really worried because my hair is thinning and falling out more since I stopped. Originally, I was using it for acne and hair fall, and eventually switched to a stronger dose, but then I had ...

Accepted Answer

When you stop using minoxidil, hair shedding is common because the hair growth stimulated by minoxidil enters a resting phase. This shedding period can last a few weeks to a few months, depending on individual factors. However, for many, hair fall should stabilize within 3-6 months after stopping minoxidil, and the hair should return to its previous state (before minoxidil) over time.

To support your hair during this period:

- Maintain a Healthy Diet: Nutrients like biotin, vitamins A, D, E, and minerals like zinc and iron are important. BTN Ultra biotin can support hair health, but ensure a balanced intake.
- Reduce Stress: Stress management can help reduce hair loss and improve recovery.
- Use Mild Hair Products: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle shampoos to support your scalp.
If the hair fall continues or worsens, a follow-up with your dermatologist may be beneficial for personalized advice and to rule out other underlying causes.
