I'm an MBBS doctor dealing with acne vulgaris grade 2, and after trying minoz 40mg for 10 days with topical adaplene gel, I still haven't seen any improvement. I'm wondering what I should try next. Do you think Tretinoin would be necessary, and what would the dose be? I've noticed it gets worse pre-menstrually. Any advice?

I'm planning to get PRP hair treatment soon, and I'm a bit concerned about whether I need to use any topical medications during or after the treatment. Could you let me know if that's necessary and what exactly I should expect in terms of medication?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment can be enhanced with topical medications. Here's what you need to know: _Benefits of Topical Medications_ 1. _Enhanced hair growth_: Topicals like minoxidil (Rogaine) or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can stimulate hair growth. 2. _Improved treatment outcomes_: Combining PRP with topical medications may lead to better results. _Common Topical Medications_ 1. _Minoxidil (Rogaine)_: Stimulates hair growth and slows down hair loss. 2. _Finasteride (Propecia)_: Slows down hair loss and promotes hair growth (only for male pattern baldness).

I'm concerned about my friend who was advised not to use steroids by the doctor. Would it be okay for him to take Suhagra tablets instead? I'm just worried and want to make sure he's making the right decision.

No he is not supposed to use unless indicated and advised by your doctor.
