I'm taking finasteride 1mg every day for my pattern hair loss, and I've also started taking isotretinoin 5mg for my cystic acne that flares up now and then. I usually take isotretinoin for a few weeks until the acne goes away. I'm worried if these two drugs might interact with each other. Is it safe to use both of them at the same time?

View allI'm dealing with oily and acne-prone skinwhat I can use Venusia cream as a moisturizer? I'm really worried about whether it might block my pores and lead to more acne. What do you think?
Venusia cream is not specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. It may be too heavy and could potentially clog pores, leading to more acne breakouts. I recommend using oil-free and non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer to clean skin twice a day for best results.

I've noticed a white formation around my penis that's really irritating and makes me want to scratch. When I take a bath, the white stuff goes away and my skin is actually black. What could this be? It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure if it's something I should be concerned about or if there's a way to treat it. Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm trying to figure out the differences between Melaglow Cream and Melaglow Rich Cream, and I'm really curious which one is the best for my skin needs. Also, how long should I be using these creams to see a noticeable improvement in my skin tone? I'm just a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice on this.
MELAGLOW RICH CREAM is better for dry skin, while MELAGLOW CREAM is suitable for normal to oily skin. You can use either cream for up to 12 weeks for best results. Apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening.
