I'm trying to understand how to use the Topisal 6 lotion my dermatologist recommended for my dandruff. How long should I keep it on my scalp before washing it off? I'm a bit confused about the application time and would really appreciate some guidance!

View allI've been using elocon cream for a couple of months just on my chin, and now out of nowhere, I've got like 100 pimples all over my chin and jawline, and it's spreading across my lower face. I gave retin a a shot, but it actually made the acne worse. I also tried some antibiotic pills, but they didn't help. Now, I'm using fusidin cream 2 antibiotics, still no luck. It's been over 10 days and things aren't getting better. I just started using acutret, hoping it'll help. Could this breakout be a side effect of the elocon cream? If so, how long might it last, and what can I do to improve the situation?
Elocon cream (mometasone) can cause skin issues like acne, especially with prolonged use. This reaction might be a rebound effect or steroid-induced acne. Considering you've already tried various treatments, it's essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance. They may recommend alternative treatments or adjust your current regimen. In the meantime, consider the following: 1. Stop using Elocon cream. 2. Continue Acutret (isotretinoin) as directed by your dermatologist. 3. Maintain good skincare hygiene and use non-comedogenic products.

I've been trying to understand how often PRP treatment can be done because different clinics are saying different things. Some say they would apply the treatment twice a month over three months if the hair doesn't grow, which adds up to six times in three months. Is this frequency safe and effective? I'm concerned about whether there's a standard or if overdoing it could have side effects.
Yes continue as advised by the dermatologist.
