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?

I've been dealing with these red, itchy rashes on my inner thighs and it's causing a lot of discomfort, especially when I walk. It feels unbearably itchy. What do you think could be causing this and how can I help ease the symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra or Lamisil AT. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding scratching the rash can help with healing.

I've been using Lomela cream for my acne and pigmentation because a friend recommended it to me. I'm curious about how long I'm supposed to keep using it after I see results. Do I need to continue applying it to maintain those results? If so, for how long should that be? I'm just trying to figure out the right approach.

Lomela cream contains hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin which are used to treat hyperpigmentation and acne. It is usually recommended to use this cream for a limited period of time, typically around 4-8 weeks, to see visible results. Once you have achieved the desired results, you can gradually reduce the frequency of application. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider or dermatologist to determine the appropriate duration of treatment based on your individual response and skin condition.
