I'm just wondering if it's okay to take Isotroin 20mg instead of Isotretinoin 20mg? Are they essentially the same thing? Just wanted to make sure before I go ahead.

Question

I'm looking for some advice on diet and medication after having PRP treatment. I'm hoping to get the best results possible. Also, I've heard about MORR F Red and I'm a bit worried. If I start using it, could it cause problems if I decide to stop later? What do you think?

Question

Is using homemade hair removal soap with barium sulphide safe? Are there any side effects I should be worried about, and does it actually remove hair or just break it off?

Question

I'm only 18, and I'm really worried because I'm facing pattern baldness at such a young age. I'm the only one among my peers with this V-shaped hairline; everyone else my age has a straight hairline. I feel like I'm odd one out and really don't know how to cope with this. Honestly, it makes me feel very self-conscious and upset. I'm aware that the usual treatments are things like propecia and rogaine, or finasteride and minoxidil, but I'm thinking about taking Dutasteride avodart instead. Could that be a good option for me? I'm just wondering if this will help or if there's something else I should consider. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
