View allI'm really struggling with a lot of pimples on my face recently and it's quite frustrating. I've been using acnelak facewash and acnesol cream, but they don't seem to be making any difference. My skin is pretty oily, and I'm not sure what else to try. Could you recommend any medicine or cream that might work for me?
It seems like your current treatment is not effective for your oily skin. I recommend trying a combination of benzoyl peroxide and adapalene gel. You can use Benzac AC gel (2.5%) in the morning and Differin gel (0.1%) at night. Make sure to apply a thin layer on the affected areas after washing your face. Remember to use a gentle cleanser suitable for oily skin and apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness.

I've noticed that my periods often get delayed by a month or two, and I'm a bit worried about it. Also, I've been seeing some slight damage to my hair and nails. Could this be linked to some sort of health issue?
Delayed periods, hair damage, and nail damage could be indicative of hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other underlying health issues. Here are some potential causes: Hormonal Imbalances 1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, hair loss, and nail damage. 2. Thyroid disorders: Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can affect menstrual cycles and cause hair and nail damage. Nutritional Deficiencies 1. Iron deficiency: Can cause hair loss, nail damage, and irregular periods. 2. Vitamin deficiencies: Lack of vitamins like B12, vitamin D, or omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to hair and nail damage. Other Potential Causes 1. Stress: Prolonged stress can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods and hair and nail damage. 2. Weight changes: Significant weight gain or loss can affect menstrual cycles and cause hair and nail damage. 3. Genetic predisposition: Family history can play a role in hormonal imbalances and hair and nail damage. To address these issues, consider the following steps: 1. Consult a gynecologist: Discuss your delayed periods and other symptoms with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions. 2. Get blood tests: Check for hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and other potential causes.

I'm wondering if Tivenca gel can be used instead of Papulex for my face, and if it's safe to leave on overnight. Could you let me know if that's okay?
Tivenca gel is not a direct replacement for Papulex for the face. Papulex is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin and contains ingredients like nicotinamide and zinc PCA to help control excess oil production and reduce inflammation. Tivenca gel, on the other hand, is primarily used for the treatment of various skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment for your skin condition. For acne treatment, you can consider using Papulex gel on the affected areas of the face in the evening before bedtime. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of the gel and leave it on overnight for best results.
