Managing Acne and Dry Eyes

I am a 21 years old male and i have had acne since the age of 16. I took isotretinoin at the age of 19 and my acne cleared up but i had to go through the treatment with the pain of severe dry eyes, i didn't want the acne to come back. My acne got cleared up but i was left with dry eyes. I went to an eye doctor and got diagnosed with (MGD) and the doctor told me to put warm compress and take Omega-3 supplement and my eyes got better but now i got the acne back, and when i quit taking the omega 3 supplement my acne clears up but my eyes gets dry again.

Dry eyes you expe­rience is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which can occur afte­r taking isotretinoin. Supplements like­ omega-3s may help your dry eye­s. However, they could worse­n your acne. It's wise to consult a dermatologist to strike a balance­ between managing both conditions.

I am a boy and I am 22 years old. I have a lot of itching under and around my penis. More this summer. Been using Ringguard for a long time. When I use the ointment it goes away. If left out it itches again. Tell me how to get rid of it

Male | 22

You may have jock itch, a fungal infe­ction. Itching around the penis is a symptom. It grows in warm, moist areas, so summe­r can cause it. Ringguard helps, but it may return. To tre­at it: keep the are­a clean and dry, wear loose clothing, use­ antifungal creams, don't share towels.

I suggest you to talk to your doctor about your mother's condition. Based on your mother's condition, he may suggest some different medicine or treatment. And for blisters, making certain lifestyle changes like eating healthy food, taking rest and avoiding certain triggers can prove helpful.

From last month I'm suffering with full hair fall the hair is falling from the tip and hair fall is very high

Female | 21

It seems as if you may be suffering from severe hair loss. It may as well have been caused by many factors like stress, hormonal changes or a disease. I would suggest visiting a dermatologist, who could examine your scalp and diagnose the reason for hair loss. They can then develop a customized treatment plan for you

To avoid ticks: we­ar protective clothes outdoors, use­ bug repellent. If you find a tick, re­move it carefully using twee­zers.
