Accepted Answer

Tretiva 10 mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne and some cases of scalp infection. While it is important to be aware of the potential side effects listed in the patient information leaflet, it is also important to consider the benefits of the medication in treating your scalp infection. In your case, since the dermatologist has prescribed a low dose of 1 tretiva 10 mg/day for 30 days, the risk of experiencing severe side effects such as psychiatric disorders, pancreatitis, or pseudotumor cerebri is relatively low. These side effects are more commonly associated with higher doses and long-term use of isotretinoin. As a student, it is crucial to prioritize your health and well-being.

The darker nose tone, oiliness, and whiteheads may be due to hyperpigmentation, excess sebum production, and clogged pores, respectively, and to achieve an even tone, try using a sunscreen, clay-based face masks, salicylic acid or glycolic acid products, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.
