Is it okay to get a dermaroller treatment in the second week of May after taking isotroin 20 mg for just three days at the end of April (28th to 30th)? I've heard you shouldn't get treatments right after accutane, but isn't that advice mostly for those who complete a full course? Would those 60 mg in total affect skin healing?

View allI'm a bit confused about when exactly I should be using sunscreen. Do I really need to keep reapplying it all day long, even in the evening or at night? Or is it okay to skip it once the sun goes down?
It is necessary to use it all day long. Should we apply sunscreen even at evening and night time ?? Or no need to apply it after sunset.. Sunscreen should be applied every day, regardless of the time of day. It is recommended to apply sunscreen in the morning before going out and to reapply every 2 hours, especially if you are outdoors. Even in the evening and at night, if you are going to be exposed to artificial light sources such as fluorescent bulbs or screens, it is advisable to continue using sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

I had a hair transplant done a while ago but now the areas of my scalp that were fine before are starting to thin out. What non-surgical options do I have to address this new hair loss? I'm worried it might keep spreading.
If areas of your scalp that were previously healthy are now thinning after a hair transplant, there are several non-surgical options to address this. These include hair growth medications like minoxidil or finasteride, laser therapy, nutritional supplements, and addressing any underlying scalp conditions. You could also consider a second hair transplant or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.

I'm considering using Morr F lotion alongside Parachute oil on my scalp, but I'm not sure if it's safe to combine the two. If it's not recommended, when would be the best time to apply the lotion and the oil separately? I'm just a bit concerned about the effectiveness and potential interactions. Would love some advice on this!
use along with oil no problem
