I've been on Brintop F 5 for 56 months now, as my dermatologist suggested. At first, like around the first 34 months, it did wonders for meI noticed my hair thinning got so much better. But lately, Im seeing the opposite. My hair above the forehead is thinning even more now, and there's more dandruff, too. Should I bump up the strength of the lotion from 5 to 10, or would it be better to stop using it altogether?

It seems like you are experiencing some changes in your hair growth pattern and increased dandruff while using Brintop F 5. I recommend consulting your dermatologist for a reevaluation of your current treatment. Your dermatologist may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication. In the meantime, you can try using a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo like Nizoral 2% twice a week to help manage the dandruff.

View allI've been using Lumise C gel for my acne marks and skin tan, but I'm also struggling with low vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels. Could these deficiencies be affecting my skin, or is the gel enough to help with my issues? I'm really concerned about how to get my skin healthy again. Any advice would be great.
Using Lumise C gel can help with your acne marks and skin tan. It contains Vitamin C which can help brighten the skin and reduce dark spots. Additionally, it can also help in collagen production which can improve skin texture. For your low Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels, I recommend taking supplements such as Neurobion Forte (Vitamin B12) and D-rise (Vitamin D) as prescribed by your doctor.

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 1. Acutret 20: You can continue taking Acutret 20 as prescribed (after breakfast) until you can meet your doctor again. 2. 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.
