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 had an accident three years ago, and while some marks have healed, there's still a noticeable one on the left side of my face. I'm really hoping to find a cream that could help fade this mark and maybe even get my skin looking like it did before. Any suggestions?
Thrombophobe cream for local application atleast 7-14 days is advised to the patient once daily.

I've been using kz lotion for dandruff, and lately, I've noticed my hair is falling out more than usual. Could this be a side effect? I don't have thyroid issues, I take vitamin supplements, and I usually get about 8 hours of sleep each night. I'm 26 and just really worried about this hair fall. Is it normal to experience this after using the lotion?
Dermat opinion.
