Ive been on Acutret 20 since the end of May and usually check in with my doctor monthly. My last visit was in mid-July, where he told me to keep taking Acutret 20 after breakfast and Azid 500 before dinner three times a week for two weeks. Since then, my acne has gotten a bit better, with just 23 pimples popping up in the last month. Unfortunately, I cant see him until September 9th. Should I keep taking these meds or should I stop until I can get more advice?

It's great to hear that your acne has improved with the current treatment regimen.
Acutret 20 (Isotretinoin) is a powerful medication for acne, and Azithromycin 500 (Azid 500) is an antibiotic that helps combat bacterial infections.
Given your situation, here are some guidelines to consider:
Continuing Treatment
- Acutret 20: You can continue taking Acutret 20 as prescribed (after breakfast) until you can meet your doctor again.
- Azid 500: Since you've been instructed to take Azid 500 thrice a week for 2 weeks, you can complete the remaining course (if any) as directed.

View allI'm considering getting another chemical peel for my acne because a doctor recommended it and also suggested using a skin lightening cream. I'm curious if it's okay to go ahead with both treatments. Would you say that using the skin whitening cream and continuing with the chemical peel is a safe and effective plan, or should I be concerned about any side effects or issues? What do you think I should do?
-Yes, you can continue with the chemical peels and skin-lightening cream if recommended by your doctor. Follow their advice closely, use sunscreen daily, and monitor your skin's response to avoid irritation.

I've been dealing with itchy patches around my vagina and the bend in my inner thigh for about a month now. They look like ringworms and itch really bad, but I haven't tried any medication yet. What do you think I should do?
You may have a fungal infection, such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Mujhe 2 saal ho gaye skinlite cream ke side effects se paresan hun. Mere face par bilkul glow nahi ho raha. Maine doctor ko dikhaya, unhone mujhe bahut saari creams aur vitamins diye, lekin ab tak kuch asar nahi dikha. Aap mujhe bata sakte hain ki main aur kya kar sakti hu?
Skinlite cream ke long-term use ke karan pigmentation ke changes ho sakte hain, jo aapki twacha par glow khone ka karan ban sakte hain. Aapka treatment chal raha hai aur yeh samajhne ki koshish ho rahi hain ki aapko aur asar kaise mil sakta hai. Aayein kuch suggestions dekhein jo madadgar ho sakte hain: Sun Protection: Sunscreen ka istemal zaroori hai, jo aapki skin ko UV radiation se protect karega aur pigmentation ko aur badhne se rokega. SPF 30 ya usse zyada wala sunscreen din mein lagana chahiye. Gentle Skincare Routine: Cleansing: Gentle, sulfate-free cleanser ka istemal karein jo aapki twacha ko rough ya dry nahi kare. Moisturizer: Twacha ko achi tarah se moisturize karna mahatvapurn hai. Non-comedogenic moisturizer use karein jo aapki twacha ke doosh ko band na kare. Hydration and Nutrition: Pani peena: Rozana khoob pani piyein. Yeh aapki skin ko naturally hydrate aur rejuvenate karne mein madad karta hai. Balanced Diet: Antioxidant-rich foods jaise ki fruits (berries, oranges) aur vegetables (spinach, broccoli) se nutritionally balanced khana khayein. Regular Exfoliation: Mahine me ek ya do baar gentle exfoliation se dead skin cells ko hatayein. Isse nayi aur healthy skin surface par aa sakti hai. Rest and Stress Management: Achha neend: Kam se kam 7-8 ghante soyein taki twacha naturally repair ho sake. Stress management techniques: Meditation aur yoga jaise techniques se stress ko kam karein, jo glow aur twacha ki overall health ko behtar karega. Follow-up with Dermatologist: Aapka doctor kisi new treatment plan ke liye dermatologist ke consultation ki salah de sakta hai.
