I've been taking isotroin 10 mg for my acne, and I'm worried it might dry out my hair. Is that something I should be concerned about? If it does cause dryness, are there any ways to prevent it?

Can I use Mediker or other shampoos to treat lice in my hair while I'm breastfeeding my 2-month-old son? I'm a little worried about how it might affect him. Could using such products be harmful to my baby?

It is not recommended to use Mediker or any other lice treatment shampoos while breastfeeding. These products contain chemicals that can be harmful to your baby. Instead, you can use a fine-toothed comb to remove the lice and their eggs manually. Additionally, you can consult with your healthcare provider for safe and effective treatment options that are compatible with breastfeeding.

I've been prescribed actame c face wash, but I can't seem to find it at any nearby pharmacies. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative? I'm really keen to know what would work similarly, as I'm unsure what to use instead.

As an alternative to Actame C face wash, consider using a face wash containing salicylic acid (around 0.5-2%) and aloe vera or tea tree oil, such as Cetaphil Salicylic Acid Face Wash, Neutrogena Salicylic Acid Acne Wash, or Himalaya Neem Face Wash, which can help with acne, inflammation, and skin soothing.
