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.

My hair at the front of my head has become really dry and super thin lately. I'm worried about it! How can I make them healthy again? What should I be doing to help with this?

To make your dry and thin hair healthy again, you can try using minoxidil solution. Apply 1ml of minoxidil solution twice daily on the affected area of the scalp. Additionally, you can take biotin supplements to promote hair growth and improve hair health. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and guidance.

I've been dealing with really dry skin on my face and some pretty intense dark circles. There's also this dark line across my nose and a patch near it that just won't go away. I'm already on a six-month treatment for pimples that my doctor assured would help with the dark spots too, but I'm not actually seeing any change. What should I do?

I've got this dark horizontal line right in the middle of my nose and it's been bothering me. I've tried a few medicines and creams, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any idea what's causing this or any suggestions on how to treat it?

Melacare cream for 4-6 weeks is advised.
