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.

I'm a bit confused about using halotop. Should I apply it before or after I wash my hair? And should I be putting it directly on my scalp or just on my hair? I'm not sure what's best.
You should use Halotop after washing your hair. Apply it directly on the scalp, not on the hair. Use a small amount and gently massage it into the scalp.

I'm wondering if Dermadew glow cream is actually effective for improving my skin. I've been thinking about applying it at night, but I'm really hoping to achieve fairer skin. Do you think this cream would help, or is there something else you would recommend?
Dermadew Glow Cream is a good cream for improving skin glow and texture. It contains a combination of vitamins, minerals, and natural extracts that help in brightening the skin. You can apply it at night before bedtime for best results. However, it is important to note that fairness of skin is largely determined by genetics and sun exposure. To achieve a fairer skin tone, in addition to using the cream, you should also use a sunscreen during the day and maintain a healthy skincare routine.
