I've been advised to start using Deriva CMS gel for my cystic acne. The issue is my wedding is on the 20th of this month, and I just started using it two days ago. A friend told me that this gel might cause more pimples at first before gradually improving acne. I'm really unsure about continuing its use with my big day coming up. Could you guide me on whether it's safe to keep using it before my wedding?

It is common for acne medications like Deriva CMS gel to cause an initial flare-up of acne before improvement is seen. This is due to the medication bringing underlying acne to the surface. However, it is important to continue using the gel as prescribed by your doctor for best results. To manage any potential flare-ups before your marriage, you can consider starting the gel at a lower frequency (e.g. every other day) and gradually increasing to daily use as your skin adjusts. Additionally, you can use a gentle moisturizer to help reduce any dryness or irritation that may occur. Overall, it is safe to continue using Deriva CMS gel as prescribed by your doctor. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions for the best outcome.

View allI've had grey hair for 34 years, and now Ive noticed my beard is turning grey-white too. I tried using Altris gel as my doctor suggested for 34 months, but it didn't help. Is there any real cure for this issue? It really concerns me.
Altris gel you will have to use it for a year or so to see results. And deficiencies have to be corrected as well. There are clinical studies showing results with this but you will have to do it long term .

Hey, I've noticed a small lump on my face situated between my right eye and the bridge of my nose. It's hard and doesnt hurt when I touch it, so I'm not sure if I should be worried. Should I get it checked out, or is it something I shouldn't be too concerned about?
Yes you can use it no problem, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment

I'm really seeing some major color changes on a vitiligo patch on my head after using melgain and tacrolimus 0.03 ointment for just a month. While that's encouraging, I'm feeling a bit anxious about what the future might hold. Could you help me understand what to expect long-term with these treatments and if theres anything I should watch out for?
no need to worry just keep a check on any unusual patches, maintain healthy life style with balanced diet and extra protein will help you.
