I've been using tretin 0.025 cream for the past two months on a doctor's recommendation and while I've seen some good results, I'm still struggling with clogged pores and now it seems like my pore size has increased too. I'm feeling really frustrated. Could you recommend a good tretinoin gel that might give me better results?

As suggested by one of the doctors, you can try using Retin-A Micro gel 0.04% for better results. Apply a pea-sized amount on the affected area once daily in the evening. This gel formulation may help in reducing clogged pores and improving the overall texture of your skin. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this product.

View allI'm just wondering how serious Molluscum Contagiosum is and what steps I should take to make sure it doesn't spread everywhere. What should I be looking out for, and how can I prevent it from affecting others around me?
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that is generally not considered serious, especially in healthy individuals. However, it can be contagious and spread easily through direct skin-to-skin contact or by sharing personal items. To prevent spreading it further, it is important to avoid scratching or picking at the lesions as this can release the virus and spread it to other areas of the skin. It is also advisable to keep the affected areas clean and covered to prevent contact with others. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing, can help reduce the risk of spreading the infection. In some cases, a healthcare provider may recommend treatment options such as cryotherapy or prescription medications to help clear the lesions.

I've been dealing with telogen effluvium after recently having a fever, and I'm really worried about how long this might last. Can you give me an idea about the typical duration for this to go away? I'm just feeling a bit anxious about it.
Telogen effluvium after fever typically lasts for about 6 months. During this time, it is important to ensure you are getting adequate nutrition and managing stress levels to support hair regrowth. You can consider using minoxidil solution 2% to promote hair growth.
