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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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 really worried about my boyfriend. He developed this small bump in his upper pubic area that looked like a pimple at first. We assumed it was just an ingrown hair. But it's been really painful and just keeps getting bigger. Now it's about the size of my fingertip, bright red, and the center looks hollow, almost like something's eating away at it. We're not sure if it could be a bug bite or what. Do you have any idea what this might be and how we should handle it?
It's essential to consult a SURGEON for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Possible causes of the bump could be: 1. Infected ingrown hair or folliculitis 2. Abscess or boil 3. Cyst or sebaceous cyst 4. Skin infection like cellulitis or erysipelas 5. Insect bite or sting Given the symptoms you described, such as: - Increasing size and pain - Bright red color - Hollow center
