I'm dealing with a skin problem and my doctor prescribed me Accura for 10 days. I'm also trying to get pregnant right now, so I'm not sure if I should be taking these tablets. Could you help me figure out if it's okay to take them, or should I avoid using them while I'm trying to conceive?

Accura tablets contain isotretinoin, a retinoid used to treat severe acne and other skin conditions. However, isotretinoin is known to cause birth defects and should be avoided during pregnancy.

Question

I've noticed that my genital area has become dark brown, and I'm wondering if there's any treatment available to lighten it, similar to how depigmentation is done for the face. Are there options like cryotherapy to help with this? Also, how can I prevent it from getting darker? Does anyone offer this kind of treatment in Bangalore?

Question

My little girl is just 10 months old and she's got this nasty fungal infection in her diaper area. It's really red and I'm worried it hurts her. She cries whenever we touch that spot. Can anyone tell me how to treat this kind of fungal infection in babies? Is homoeopathy an option here?

Question

I've been dealing with this pus-filled scar that turned into a keloid about a year ago. Its really painful, and Ive seen multiple doctors, but nothing seems to work. I came across some info about injection shots for this kind of thing. Do you offer those treatments? And are there any side effects I should know about?
