Question

I've noticed black spots on my ankles and I'm kinda worried. I don't see any other symptoms or problems, but some friends mentioned I should maybe see a doctor about it. Could you explain why these black spots might be appearing? And is there anything I can do to get rid of them?

Question

I've been on isotretinoin for a few months, and I'm in my 5th month now. My doctor upped my dose to 20 mg twice daily 'cause it wasn't working much initially. But now, after about 45 days, my hair's gotten thinner, and when I was checking out some videos on isotretinoin's side effects, someone mentioned it could cause erectile dysfunction. Since hearing that, I've started experiencing it too, and it's been happening for the past 5 days. Its stressing me out and affecting my mood. I havent told my doctor about the erection issue, but my dose got cut back to just 20 mg a day. Besides that, I'm also dealing with a stomach ache, digestion issues, testicular discomfort, and dryness in my throat, eyes, and lips. Im super confused and anxious about continuing isotretinoin. Could it really be the cause? What should I do? Your guidance could really help me out.

Question

I've got a couple of self-harm scars on my forearm and I'm wondering if there's any scar treatment that could help get rid of them. They've caused me a lot of trouble with people being suspicious and asking questions, and I'd really love to have them gone. What options might be available to me?
