My wife has been having a really bad reaction to an ornidazole tablet she took a few days ago. Since March 9th, she's been dealing with mouth ulcers, and her eyes are constantly watering and won't open properly. It's been three days now, and I'm really worried about what we should do next. Can you help?

I'm currently seeing a dermatologist for some acne scarring and I've been taking sotret 20mg for the past four months and it's really helped with the scars and my face isn't as oily. But I've started noticing that my hair is thinning, my eyes burn a lot, I get nosebleeds, stomach upsets, hair fall, and even back pain sometimes. Are these the side effects of sotret? And if they are, will they go away once I stop the medication? Will my hair eventually get back to its original thickness, and how long might that take? I mentioned all these symptoms to my dermatologist, but she doesn't really think they're caused by the medication. Any thoughts on what I should do?

The symptoms you're experiencing, such as hair thinning, eye burn, nose bleeding, stomach upset, hair fall, and back pain, are common side effects of Sotret (Isotretinoin), and they are likely to subside once you stop taking the medication, with hair regrowth potentially taking several months to a year or more.

I'm thinking about starting cod liver oil capsules 'cause I've heard it does wonders for the skin and hair. But before I jump in, I'd love to know more about the benefits and any side effects I should be aware of. Also, any advice on the right dosage and when's the best time to take them?

Cod liver oil capsules are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D, which can provide numerous benefits for skin and hair health. The omega-3 fatty acids help to keep the skin hydrated and may reduce inflammation, leading to improved skin texture. They can also promote hair growth and strength. However, it's important to note that cod liver oil capsules may have some side effects, such as a fishy aftertaste, bad breath, and nausea. Recommended dosage is 1-2 capsules per day.

I've been using Deriva BPO gel for about a week now, but I haven't noticed any improvements in my acne. In fact, I'm seeing more whiteheads appearing on my acne every day. Is this how the gel is supposed to work, or will it actually help clear up my acne?
