I've been using Momate as my doctor advised, but I stopped about a week ago. Since then, I noticed a few pimples popping up, which seemed normal at first. But today, I woke up with a bunch more on my face and neck. I'm really not sure whats going on. Can you help figure out what's happening and what I should do about it?

I'm really struggling with acne right now and I'm curious about what actually causes it and how I can treat it. Also, I've heard mixed things about whether masturbation can cause acne and would love some clarity on that. Can you help me understand this better?

Acne is caused by a combination of factors including excess oil production, clogged hair follicles, bacteria, and inflammation. To treat acne, you can use topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. In more severe cases, oral medications like isotretinoin may be prescribed. It is important to maintain a good skincare routine and avoid picking or squeezing acne lesions. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation causes acne.

I'm 28 and have always struggled with oily skin, and that means dealing with pimples and their marks constantly. A few months back, I tried retino a with eukroma cream in a chickpea-sized amount, and after 3 months, my skin was looking great. But I stopped using eukroma and now all the pimples and marks are back. Should I start using eukroma again or is there a different approach I should consider? Any thoughts on what I can do to get rid of these spots once and for all?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm considering using Dr. Reddy's Minoxidil topical solution USP 2 for hair regrowth, but I'm not sure if I need to see a doctor for a prescription first. Is it safe to start using it on my own, or do I really need to check with a healthcare professional? I've read a bit about it but want to be certain about any risks or side effects I should be aware of. Would really appreciate your advice!

Dr Reddys Minoxidil 5.. is advised to the patient.
