I'm using this Botanica 3D serum and Cetaphil cleanser because I'd lost my facial glow from past steroid use. My specialist suggested this regimen, and thankfully, my glow is back and no issues so far. How long should I keep up with this routine? Should I stick with it or think about switching things up?

What fruit is good for eczema?

Fruits with flavonoids such as Apples, Broccoli, Cherries, Blueberries, Spinach, Kale can be taken as they help in fighting inflammation. But many triggers might bring on eczema-related symptoms including what we eat and each person has different allergens. There's no one diet plan that suits all. It is better to have diet rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats according to your allergies.

I'm a little worried about switching from isotretinoin capsules to tablets. My dermatologist started me on a 5-month isotretinoin course for moderate to severe acne, and I've been using Saferet 20 mg capsules for 2 months now. But my pharmacist now only has Saferet 20 mg in tablet form. Is there any difference between taking isotretinoin as capsules or tablets? Which one is more effective or better for me? Would love some guidance on this.

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
