View allI've been using a clindamycin gel and isotretinoin tablet for my acne and scars for about 12 days now, but my skin seems to be getting oilier and I'm not seeing much improvement. In fact, I feel like my acne is more noticeable. Do you think I should stop using them, or is this normal and I should give it more time?
Concerns about Clindamycin gel and Isotretinoin tablet. _Possible Reasons for Oily Skin and Lack of Improvement:_ 1. _Initial breakout_: Isotretinoin can cause an initial flare-up of acne. 2. _Hormonal adjustments_: Isotretinoin can affect hormone levels, leading to increased oil production. 3. _Clindamycin gel_: Can cause skin dryness, but in some cases, may increase oil production. _Recommended Next Steps:_ 1. _Consult your dermatologist_: Discuss your concerns and the lack of improvement. 2. _Do not stop medication abruptly_: Consult your dermatologist before stopping or adjusting treatment. 3. _Consider adjustments to treatment_: Your dermatologist may adjust the dosage or recommend additional treatments to control oil production and acne. _Maintain Good Skincare Habits:_ 1. _Use non-comedogenic products_: Avoid products that clog pores. 2. _Keep your skin clean_: Gently wash your face twice a day. 3. _Avoid picking or popping pimples_: This can lead to further inflammation and scarring.

I've been looking into different soap bars and I'm torn between the Desmodew Lite and iGlow Lite options. I'm really concerned about making sure I pick something that's safe for my skin and not harmful in any way. Can you help me understand which one might be the better choice?
Desmodew lite soap bar and i-glow lite soap bar are both safe options for the skin. However, it is important to note that individual reactions to skincare products can vary. For a safer option, I would recommend using Desmodew lite soap bar as it is known for its gentle cleansing properties and is suitable for sensitive skin. You can use Desmodew lite soap bar for daily cleansing of the skin. Apply the soap on wet skin, gently massage, and then rinse off with water. If you have any specific skin concerns or conditions, it is always best to consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.

I've been using Faiza cream for about six months, but after I stopped, my face broke out with pimples and acne, and it's gotten way oilier. I'm really worried about this. How can I recover from these issues and work towards getting fairer skin? Can you please help me?
To help with the pimples, acne, and oily skin, you can try using a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to unclog pores and reduce oiliness. Additionally, a topical retinoid cream like Retin-A can help with acne and promote skin cell turnover. To lighten your skin, you can consider using a cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid, but make sure to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Remember to always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.
