I've noticed my skin is getting darker, and I've got these patches with hard, dry areas. I was told it might be macular amyloidosis, so a doctor prescribed glutathione pills and some creams, but I didn't see any improvement and stopped. I'm really worried because I'm not sure if there's a permanent solution to this. Is there a more effective treatment out there?

Macular amyloidosis is a chronic skin condition that may not respond well to topical creams alone. However, there are other treatment options available. One option is to use topical corticosteroids to help reduce inflammation and itching. Another option is phototherapy, which involves exposing the affected skin to ultraviolet light. In some cases, oral medications such as antihistamines or immunosuppressants may be prescribed. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.

I've been using Acutret 20mg for my combination skin, and it's been working really well so far, but I'm starting to worry about the side effects. Could it potentially cause hair fall or have any kind of impact on my hair?

Acutret 20mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat acne. While isotretinoin is effective for acne, it can have some side effects. Hair loss is a rare side effect of isotretinoin, but it can happen in some cases. If you are experiencing hair loss or any other concerning side effects, it is important to consult your doctor.

I'm dealing with hair loss, dandruff, and an itchy scalp, and a dermatologist at DHI suggested I try keraglo men. I'm worried and have some questions about it. First, is it really safe to take keraglo men? If I decide to stop, will there be any side effects? Are there any other supplements I should consider using alongside it, and what happens if I stop them too? I'm also curious if I can take Becosules along with keraglo men. Id appreciate any additional insight you might have.
