I've been on Diane 35 for about six months, but I stopped three months ago. Now my acne is starting to come back. What can I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Diane 35 is a hormonal contraceptive that's often prescribed to treat acne, especially in women. However, it's not uncommon for acne to return after stopping the medication.
Why Acne Returns After Stopping Diane 35
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Diane 35 regulates hormonal imbalances, which can help control acne. When you stop taking the medication, hormonal fluctuations can lead to acne recurrence.
- Underlying Skin Issues: Diane 35 may have been masking underlying skin issues, such as clogged pores, bacterial growth, or inflammation. When you stop taking the medication, these underlying issues can resurface, leading to acne.3. Consider Alternative Acne Treatments: Your dermatologist may recommend alternative acne treatments, such as:
- Topical retinoids
- Benzoyl peroxide
- Salicylic acid
- Hormonal treatments (if hormonal imbalances are suspected)

View allI've been noticing something unusual after using a new towel. It left some lint on my penis, and even after drying with another towel, my skin became ashy and dry on one side. I tried using oils, but the dryness keeps coming back. Now, I've also noticed my scrotum has become dry and darker in color. What's going on here? Could the towel have caused this, or is it something else? I'm genuinely concerned and would appreciate any insight you might have.

why it is used in hair loss issue
Head and shoulders anti hair fall shampoo is one of the best shampoo to reduce hair fall at this price. It really worked for me which no other shampoo did. It is best to be used in winter season because in winters we tend to have more hair fall because of dandruff in scalp
