I've been using Tretin ISO 20 mg for my adult acne since mid-October 2017, based on my doctor's advice. However, in November, my wife became pregnant, though we weren't planning it. I'm feeling a bit worried and am wondering if there could be any risks to my wife's health or the baby's health because I'm taking Tretin ISO. Could taking this medication have any negative effects? Would love to hear some guidance.

View allI'm dealing with these skin allergies that look a lot like mosquito bites all over my body. My blood test showed I have a high IgE count of 2000, and even though I've been on medication for over three months, the allergies keep coming back as soon as I stop the treatment. It feels like it's getting worse every day. Is there anything I can do for a more permanent solution?
High IgE count (>2000) indicates an overactive immune response, leading to increased histamine release and allergic reactions. Current Treatment Limitations Medications like antihistamines, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants can provide temporary relief but may not address the underlying issue. Recurring symptoms after stopping medication suggest that the treatment is only managing the symptoms, not the root cause. Permanent Solution: A Multi-Faceted Approach 1. Immunotherapy Allergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy can help desensitize your immune system to specific allergens, reducing IgE levels and symptoms. 2. Dietary Changes Avoid common allergenic foods like dairy, gluten, soy, and nuts for 2-3 weeks to see if symptoms improve. Incorporate anti-inflammatory foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber.

Is the Mayi dusting powder safe for my 10-month-old baby? I'm wondering if it's okay to use the regular candid powder or if there's a specific version meant for infants. Can you provide me with more information about this?
-It's best to use a baby-specific Candid powder designed for infants, as it is gentler on their sensitive skin. Regular Candid powder may be too harsh for a 10-month-old and could cause irritation. Always consult your pediatrician before using any product

So, I recently used chuna powder to remove a mole, and now the surrounding skin is burned, although it's completely healed now. The thing is, there's a small scar and a tiny hole-like uneven surface left behind. I'm using dermadew soap and can see the scar lightening a bit. I'm really hoping to get rid of the uneven surface and scar. Can you suggest a cream that might help with this?
Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .
