I've been prescribed doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules to help with my acne. I'm just wondering how I should be taking them. Should I have them before or after dinner in the evening?

View allI'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.

I'm dealing with Androgenic Alopecia and in the past, I've seen good results with Minoxidil and Finasteride. However, after my daughter was born, I stopped using them for about two years and now I've lost my hair again. I'm considering starting Minoxidil lotion again, but I'm worried. If my daughter shares my pillow, could it have any negative effects on her skin or hair? I really don't want to cause her any problems.
try using separate pillows from now and use minoxidil 30min before bed
