I'm trying to understand the difference between milia and molluscum. Can you explain this in detail? Also, do these conditions go away on their own, or do they need some kind of treatment? I'm really curious because I just noticed some small bumps on my skin and I'm not sure what they are or if I should be worried.

I'm dealing with a skin problem and my doctor prescribed me Accura for 10 days. I'm also trying to get pregnant right now, so I'm not sure if I should be taking these tablets. Could you help me figure out if it's okay to take them, or should I avoid using them while I'm trying to conceive?

Accura tablets contain isotretinoin, a retinoid used to treat severe acne and other skin conditions. However, isotretinoin is known to cause birth defects and should be avoided during pregnancy.

I have a red rash all over my back and shoulders. They're super itchy and some are pretty painful. I've been trying Dermi Cool powder, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Can you help me out with this?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

My medical's coming up on 17th July at Palam Airport in Delhi, and now I'm really worried about it. Does this actually mean I won't be fit? What should I do?
