Question 1

Hi Doctor, Ive been taking isotretinoin 10mg as prescribed by my dermatologist for acne, and it helped a lot. But recently, Ive started noticing blurred vision. Could this be a side effect of the isotretinoin, or is it just a coincidence?

Accepted Answer

Blurred vision as a side effect of isotretinoin (Accutane) is rare but possible, as it can cause eye problems like dryness, irritation, or even inflammatory conditions like uveitis; however, it's also possible that the blurred vision is coincidental or related to another underlying condition, so it's essential to consult your dermatologist or an ophthalmologist

Question 2

Is it okay to use Lacto Calamine to treat dark spots? Im worried it might make my skin dull or darker. Does it have any side effects or long-term impact on my skin?

Accepted Answer

Lacto Calamine can be used to treat dark spots on the skin. It contains ingredients like zinc oxide and glycerin which help in reducing dark spots and improving skin tone. It is unlikely to make your skin dull or darker. Apply a thin layer of lacto calamine on the affected areas twice a day for best results.

To help stop hair loss and promote hair growth, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, taking biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily can also help improve hair growth.

If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
