I've been struggling with persistent dark circles for the past few years, and nothing seems to help. I've tried various dermatological creams, but they havent worked for me. I heard that homeopathy might offer an effective treatment. Can you recommend any remedies?

Elocon Cream Side Effects_

Rebound acne: Stopping or reducing Elocon cream can lead to a severe acne flare-up.

Steroid-induced acne: Long-term use of topical corticosteroids can cause acne, especially on the face.

Current Situation

Severe acne flare-up: The sudden onset of numerous pimples on your chin, jawline, and lower face suggests a rebound acne reaction.

Ineffective treatments: Retin-A, antibiotic pills, and fusidin cream may not be effective in treating steroid-induced acne.

Acutret (Isotretinoin)

Recently started: It may take several weeks to see the effects of Acutret.

Monitor progress: Keep track of your acne and any side effects while taking Acutret.

I'm really confused about why my doctor prescribed desonide for my hair loss and dandruff issues. Can it actually help with hair regrowth, or is it just for treating the dandruff?
