I've been noticing that I get a pimple right in the middle of my cleavage line, and it seems to always show up right before my period. I'm really curious about what's causing it and if there's any way I can prevent it from happening. Any insights?

Pimples in the cleavage area before the menstrual cycle are often due to hormonal changes. To help prevent them, you can try using topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, such as Benzac AC gel or Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. Keeping the area clean and dry can also help. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet, managing stress levels, and staying hydrated may help reduce the frequency of these breakouts.

I've been using Acutret 20mg for my combination skin, and it's been working really well so far, but I'm starting to worry about the side effects. Could it potentially cause hair fall or have any kind of impact on my hair?

Acutret 20mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat acne. While isotretinoin is effective for acne, it can have some side effects. Hair loss is a rare side effect of isotretinoin, but it can happen in some cases. If you are experiencing hair loss or any other concerning side effects, it is important to consult your doctor.

I'm dealing with these mouth ulcers every two weeks and it's pretty painful, especially when I'm eating or talking. I'm really curious about what could help with the pain and maybe even prevent them from coming back. What should I do?

Mouth ulcers can be quite uncomfortable. To help relieve the pain and promote healing, you can use a topical oral gel containing Choline Salicylate and Cetalkonium Chloride. Apply the gel directly on the ulcer 3-4 times a day after meals and at bedtime. Additionally, you can take a Vitamin B complex supplement to aid in the healing process. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the ulcers.

I've got this thin light black-brown line right in the middle of my left thumb, and I dont feel any pain or itching from it. I cant recall injuring my thumb, though. I talked to a doctor, but not a Dermatologist. He guessed it was some fungal infection, so I took medicine for a week. The line hasnt disappeared or gotten darker, but the doctor said it looked slightly lighter and told me not to worry about it. It doesnt appear on any other fingers on my hands or feet. Should I be concerned about this line? Should I get a second opinion, maybe from a Dermatologist? Is it something that needs urgent attention?

That could be due stress or pressure induced pigmentation,no need to worry unless it does progress otherwise u can ignore it.
