I'm worried that my hair is falling out because of the Acenac MR tablets I've been taking. Do you think it could be the cause? Also, is there any way to regrow my hair with medication? How can I reach out to you for advice?

Hair loss can be distressing! Acneac MR tablets, which contain minocycline, can contribute to hair loss as a rare side effect. However, it's essential to consult your doctor to determine if the tablets are the primary cause of your hair fall.

Other possible causes of hair loss:

  1. Hormonal imbalances
  2. Genetics
  3. Nutritional deficiencies (e.g., iron, zinc, or biotin)
  4. Stress
  5. Certain medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases)

Can hair regrow with medication?

Yes, in some cases, medication can help promote hair growth or slow down hair loss

I've noticed these white patches in the corners of my lips for about a year now. They don't hurt, but it seems like the whiteness is spreading. I'm really starting to wonder what's causing this. Any ideas?

May be due to a condition called oral thrush, which is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as clotrimazole. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding sugary foods can help prevent the infection from worsening.

I'm experiencing a lot of hair fall and I'm wondering about the best time to take the Tricogro tablet. Could you advise me on that? Also, are there any other medicines or treatments for hair growth that you would recommend? And about weight loss, I've noticed an increase of about 8kg over the past year. I've got excess fat and can't seem to figure out what to do. Any advice or medication suggestions for managing this weight gain would really help.

I'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.
