I've been using Melacare for about a month to try and lighten some burn scars. They seemed to lighten up a bit, but there's still quite a bit of darkness left. I stopped using the cream a week ago, and now it seems like the marks have gotten darker and more noticeable. I'm just a bit worried about why this is happening and if I should start using the cream again or try something else?

I'm currently taking isotretinoin capsules, 20 mg per day, and was wondering if it's safe to use benzoyl peroxide on my skin at the same time. I've heard about potential issues or reactions but I'm not really sure. Could this combination cause any problems, and should I be worried about any side effects?

I've noticed that after getting PRP done on October 10th, my hair seems to be falling out more when I brush it, and it's even shedding when I wash it lately. Could this be a reaction to the PRP treatment not working well for me, or is this kind of hair fall normal after the treatment? What can I do to manage this, and how should I take care of my hair right now?
