I've been dealing with whiteheads on my nose and chin for a while now. My doctor suggested using hhsalic ointment and taking Actilife tablets, but I haven't seen any improvement. Is there something else I could try? I'm really looking for any other treatments or advice that could help.

View allI'm really struggling with dark circles and marks under my eyes. I've tried all sorts of face creams, face packs, and washes, but nothing seems to help. My skin is this annoying mix of oily and combination, and it always just looks dull. Do you have any advice on tablets or creams I should try?
For dark circles and dull skin, you can try using a combination of Vitamin C serum and retinol cream. You can use a Vitamin C serum in the morning to brighten the skin and reduce dark circles, and a retinol cream at night to improve skin texture and reduce marks. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin C supplements to further boost skin health. Make sure to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer suitable for oily and combination skin to keep your skin hydrated.

I'm currently seeing a dermatologist for some acne scarring and I've been taking sotret 20mg for the past four months and it's really helped with the scars and my face isn't as oily. But I've started noticing that my hair is thinning, my eyes burn a lot, I get nosebleeds, stomach upsets, hair fall, and even back pain sometimes. Are these the side effects of sotret? And if they are, will they go away once I stop the medication? Will my hair eventually get back to its original thickness, and how long might that take? I mentioned all these symptoms to my dermatologist, but she doesn't really think they're caused by the medication. Any thoughts on what I should do?
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as hair thinning, eye burn, nose bleeding, stomach upset, hair fall, and back pain, are common side effects of Sotret (Isotretinoin), and they are likely to subside once you stop taking the medication, with hair regrowth potentially taking several months to a year or more.
