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've been using Candid cream and Clocip powder, but I keep getting this itchy sensation again. It feels good when I scratch it, but then it gets really irritating. Can you recommend a good ointment or prescription I could try?

Consider using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole, Miconazole, or Terbinafine, and for itching, apply a topical steroid cream like Hydrocortisone; also, try an anti-itching cream like Sarna or Calamine; if the issue persists, consult a dermatologist for a prescription and proper diagnosis, as recurring itching and irritation may indicate an underlying skin condition.

I'm trying to find out if taking a zincovit tablet helps with reducing grey hair and hair fall. My routine is having some abc juice in the morning, then muesli, followed by lunch, and taking a zincovit tablet after that. In the evening, I make a spinach banana smoothie. I'm just wondering if this diet could help decrease hair fall or if it might cause more heat in my body. What do you think?

Zincovit tablets can help improve hair health and reduce hair fall, but they may not directly reduce grey hair. Your diet plan seems balanced and nutritious, which can contribute to overall hair health. However, zincovit tablets contain zinc, vitamins, and minerals that may not necessarily produce more heat in your body. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated to support hair health.
