I've got this strange rash on my arm that I noticed a few days ago. It's just one spot, and it's circular with a scaly edge, but the center is really red. I'm wondering what it might be. Any ideas?

There is a possibility that the rash you are describing is a ringworm infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the rash does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've recently seen a dermatologist and they prescribed me Resoten 20, along with some moisturizers and lip balm. I've heard that this medication can make acne look worse before it starts to improve. Should I stick with the 20mg, or do you think a stronger dose might be necessary for my mild to severe acne? Also, is there a more affordable option for Isotretinoin capsules than Resoten 20?

I'm 11 weeks and 4 days into my pregnancy and I'm wondering if it's okay to get threading done on my eyebrows and upper lip at this stage. Is it safe for me and the baby?

Threading during early pregnancy is generally considered safe. Since you're 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant, you can opt for threading as a hair removal method for your eyebrows and upper lip. However, it's essential to take some precautions to minimize potential risks. Make sure to find a skilled and experienced threading technician who follows proper sanitation and hygiene procedures. Some benefits of threading include its precision, gentleness on the skin, and ability to remove even the tiniest hairs. Additionally, threading doesn't involve the use of chemicals, making it a relatively safe option during pregnancy. Before undergoing threading, inform your technician about your pregnancy. Although threading is generally safe, it's crucial to be cautious and aware of any potential risks or complications.
