I've got this yellow spot on my inner thigh that's about the size of a thumbnail, and it's halfway up my leg. I dont recall getting hurt or anything like that, and I dont play any sports. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?
The yellow spot on your inner thigh could be a fatty deposit, a sebaceous cyst, or a skin condition like eczema or dermatitis, but it's also possible it could be a symptom of a more serious condition, so it's best to consult a dermatologist for a proper examination and diagnosis to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm a 26-year-old guy and I've been taking Tretiva 10 mg for my scalp infection. The dermatologist suggested I use it for 30 days to help with the small pimples filled with white pus on my scalp. But I read about some possible side effects in the patient information leaflet, like psychiatric disorders, pancreatitis, and pseudotumor cerebri, and I'm starting to worry a bit. Do you think it's a good idea to stop taking it? I'm concerned about any possible effects on my brain or thinking since I'm a student. Also, I didn't have any blood tests before starting this medication. What should I do?
Tretiva 10 mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne and some cases of scalp infection. While it is important to be aware of the potential side effects listed in the patient information leaflet, it is also important to consider the benefits of the medication in treating your scalp infection. In your case, since the dermatologist has prescribed a low dose of 1 tretiva 10 mgday for 30 days, the risk of experiencing severe side effects such as psychiatric disorders, pancreatitis, or pseudotumor cerebri is relatively low. These side effects are more commonly associated with higher doses and long-term use of isotretinoin. As a student, it is crucial to prioritize your health and well-being.
