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've been dealing with burning and dry skin on my lips for a couple of months now. At first, I thought they were just chapped, so I tried using lip scrubs and chap stick, but nothing seems to help. I'm starting to worry, could this be a ringworm? How can I tell if that's what it is?

Yes you can have it no problem

Ive been dealing with hair loss for the past ten years, and now Ive reached W baldness stage. Im a 33-year-old male. Can you please help me understand what might be causing this and if there are any treatments I could try? Im really worried about the extent its reached and would appreciate any advice.

You may be suffering from male pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia). It is treatable through a combination of medication and lifestyle changes. You may also have underlying undetected factors which may be promoting hair loss, such as dandruff, psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist to determine the severity and extent of your condition, and start off with a treatment regimen that is suitable for you.
