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.

It's understandable that the spots on your lips and genital area are causing you distress, impacting your confidence and sleep. While there isn't a single "permanent" solution that guarantees complete removal of all such spots, there are effective treatments that can reduce their visibility and improve your overall well-being.

My wife came down with chicken pox back in late November, and we noticed the pox marks are fading, but it's happening really slowly. I'm starting to worry since it's been over two months now, and I'm not sure if these marks are ever going to completely disappear. Should we see a doctor about this, or is it better to just keep using coconut oil and let things heal naturally? We're just a bit concerned and would appreciate some guidance on what to do next.
