Should I take isotretinoin for forehead acne?

Patient's Query

I am 21 years old and having forehead acne only and no acne on other part of face and my doctor suggested me isotretinoin should I take it or they are for severe acne?

Answered by Dr. Deepak Jakhar

Forehead acne is quite common. It can be because of the sebum the skin makes too much as it gets plugged and distresses the follicles. Isotretinoin is mainly used for the treatment of severe acne, so if your doctor has recommended it, it may indicate that your acne has become more severe and chronic. Make sure you are listening to your doctor and feel free to express your worries if you have any.

Acne on cheeks, have many big spots

Male | 29

You have some large, bumpy areas on your face. Those are known as zits or pimples. Zits occur when the tiny holes in our skin, called pores, become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can make them look red and swollen or feel tender to the touch. A good way to get rid of acne is to wash your face gently with warm water and soap twice a day; never squeeze the spots because it can cause scars, or use products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid which help clear up blackheads and whiteheads.

I am 23 year old. sometimes before I was suffering from HSP , now I recovered from disease but some spot are appread on my legs , so please help me out with any cream or ointment for removing the spot?

Female | 23

 It may be that the points are healing or that the disease left some changes behind in the skin. One thing that could help you get rid of those spots is to apply a nice hydrating cream or lotion with vitamin E or aloe vera. Note that outbreaks can take a little longer to fade away, yet hydrating your skin can help a bit.

Female | 34

It seems like you are going through mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. The pus-like discharge is a sign of infection. Mastitis can result from bacteria entering the breast via a cracked nipple or blocked milk duct. It is important to keep on taking any prescribed antibiotics and not to squeeze the breast because it can make the infection worse. Ensure you feed and pump frequently in order to clear the infection. With proper treatment and rest, mastitis can generally be cured within a week.

Hello I consume ketanzole lotion by mistake 1 teaspoon what should I do

Male | 47

If this did happen, don’t panic too much, as it can occur. Ketoconazole contains an ingredient that can be harmful when ingested. Symptoms such as stomach ache, nausea, or vomiting are likely to occur. If you notice any of these signs, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, try not to get too worked up about it. Instead, drink plenty of water to help reduce the concentration of the drug in your system.

Female | 21

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.

Some­times, accidentally biting the toungue or eating hard foods cause­s bruising. These bruises usually he­al within one or two weeks by the­mselves. To ease­ any pain or discomfort, try soft foods and avoid spicy or acidic ones until healing occurs. If it persists, visiting a doctor may provide help.
