I've got a kiss mark on my neck and I'm worried about how to get rid of it. It's just blood that's clotted and left a mark, but it doesn't hurt. Any ideas on what I can do to make it disappear faster?

To remove the mark from the kiss mark on your neck, you can apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling and help with the clotting. You can also apply a topical arnica cream to help with bruising. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the mark persists or if you have any concerns, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm a little worried about switching from isotretinoin capsules to tablets. My dermatologist started me on a 5-month isotretinoin course for moderate to severe acne, and I've been using Saferet 20 mg capsules for 2 months now. But my pharmacist now only has Saferet 20 mg in tablet form. Is there any difference between taking isotretinoin as capsules or tablets? Which one is more effective or better for me? Would love some guidance on this.

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
