There is no need to go for any fertility tests now. Your fertility returns immediately once you stop the pills. Since you wish to conceive after 3-4 months, you may stop the pill now ( specially because you are worried). Not all conceive immediately after stopping the pill. Don't be stressed about that too.

"value": "hi there am dr.surendiran nice to meet you here in HCMagic Acne is a disease that involves the oil glands of the skin. It is not dangerous, but can leave skin scars. Your skin has pores (tiny holes) which connect to oil glands located under the skin. The glands are connected to the pores via follicles - small canals. Sebum, an oily liquid, is produced by these glands. The sebum carries dead skin cells through the follicles to the surface of your skin. A small hair grows through the follicle out of the skin. Pimples grow when these follicles get blocked. The majority of people who get acne will develop mild acne. This can usually be treated with OTC (over-the-counter) medications. OTC medications can be bought at a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. They are usually applied to the skin - topical medicines. like Benzoyl Peroxide Salicylic Acid Retin-A hope helped your query regards dr.surendiran hcmagic"

"value": "Hi, Chances of pigmentation and scarring in acne depends upon severity and inflammation of acne lesions. As you have cystic acne, your acne are more prone to heal with pigmentation and scarring. To treat pigmentation multiple options like depigmenting creams, peels, microdermabrasion or lasers are available. As you are still having active acne lesions, application of a pigmentation reducing cream containing Kojic acid, Azelaic acid, Glycolic acid or hydroquinone over the pigmentation spots would be helpful. Taking chemical peel sessions of Glycolic acid or salicylic acid would be very effective not only in reducing the pigmentation but also active acne lesions. From the medicines you are taking it seems you are having acne due to underlying hormonal derangement. For the same hormonal pills have been added, these might require couple of month's time to show good response. Adding oral isotretinoin along with the drugs you are taking would help. Hope that answers your query. Take care."

The treatment is given in the form of oral medicines( azithromycin/ doxycycline/ minocycline and/or isotretinoin) along with topicals( clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, adapalene tretinoin) etc. As you said you want faster results, that can only be delivered after a thorough skin examination so that a personalised skin treatment can be suggested. However, you may follow these basic suggestions to prevent and treat acne 1) continue with saslic face wash. Use it twice daily 2) you any continue with Olay cream, if it suits your skin well 3) get your blackheads and whiteheads removed regularly and apply retino a cream in comedone prone areas 4) treat your active acne lesions with application of clindamycin gel and retino a cream. Depending on your acne grade severity, oral therapy might be required, for the same consult a dermatologist nearby.

"value": "Hi Namrata, Onset of acne in adult age usually points towards a hormonal derangement. To get the same confirmed a hormonal work up and a pelvic ultrasound needs to be done. Usually adult onset acne does not respond to topical therapy alone. A course of oral anti acne medicines like azithromycin, isotretinoin needs to be taken along with hormonal pills. The same can only be prescribed after a thorough consultation with dermatologist. In the meanwhile you can start with these 1) continue using salicylic acid face wash 2) as your skin has become sensitive, use a mild moisturiser and sunscreen. You may use acne moist moisturiser and suncote sunscreen 3) use benzoyl peroxide 2.5 percent( benzac ac gel) in daytime and adapalene gel in night. Apply these medicines only over acne lesions and do not rub the medicine. Too much rubbing or excess application can irritate the skin. Chances of irritation of skin are quite high with benzoyl peroxide 5 percent. So I would not advise you to use it without a proper skin analysis. 4) get your comedones extracted regularly. Hope that answers your query. Take care."

Sometimes with isotretinoin acne lesions can flare initially to improve later on and that is why many prefer to start isotretinoin in a low dose and later on dose is increased as per the response. In your case, if you have taken medicines for few weeks without improvement, your doctor would increase the dose of isotretinoin. So kindly continue with the medication and remain under a doctor's follow up. Hope that answers your query. Take care."

This includes whiteheads, blackheads, and red, inflammed patches of skin (such as cysts).In the course of evolution, you may have any or all of these.This is based on the various internal hormonal stimuli as well, which can change several times in a month or year. Although you have been compliant with the proactive product, I feel that only this agent might not suffice now.there may be a need of addition in oral /topical therapies. Eg: Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline. Topical antibiotics such as clindamycin, erythromycin. Other needs may be benzoyl peroxide ,salicylic acid,topical azelaic acid. Salicylic acid peels help in reducing the extent of acne /recurrance of acne either as mono therapy or in combination with other agents. These can only be suggested when a dermatologist has actually seen the type of lesions you have. U definitely do not need to stop anything now, however please visits the doctor early so that there are no delays in the onset of more efficacious therapies. Hope this helps..Take care"

Kindly consult a dermatologist for prescription of these drugs. Never manipulate any abscess/ boil/ pimple on face as it may have serious complications.

Among couples trying for conception only 25% conceive during each cycle, 80% conceive in a year's time and about 90% conceive in 2 years time You are married since six months. Stop worrying. You probably did the ultrasound during ovulation time. That is why a small amount of fluid was seen due to rupture of follicle. This is a normal finding. Do not worry about it. This fluid will not affect your fertility. If you repeat ultrasound immediately after periods, you will not see this fluid on ultrasound. If you have regular cycles, in all probability you are ovulating and you need not worry. To increase your chances of pregnancy, you both should maintain normal BMI, stop smoking ( if smoker), and have intercourse3-4 Ines in a week. If you do not conceive in another six months time, consult Gynecologist. I hope this is helpful. Best wishes,DrRama"

It has its side effects, however if doctor's advice is followed properly it is quite safe to use. The only side effect, you might notice is dryness of skin and lips and that can be prevented by keeping your skin well moisturised. Other so called serious side effects occur only when it is continued for a prolonged period without doctor's supervision. Your doctor must have evaluated the safety and efficacy of the drug in your case. So trust your doctor, start the course and remain in proper follow up for an acne free skin. Take care."

To treat acne, use a mild salicylic acid face wash and a water based moisturiser. If you are having comedones, get them extracted. Also visit a dermatologist, to get your skin analysed so that an oral antibiotic or oral isotretinoin can be started along with anti acne creams. Once your skin is better with medication, you can switch over to either of the products you have been using as maintenance(proactive or Vichy).Hope that solves your query. Take care."

Also, benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion twice daily + doxy is also a good treatment of choice for acne. Also use of topical steroids would also be good. You also need to know that, for your age group persistent acne is normal and would give way gradually as you get older. The other possibility for your rashes on the back is that you might not necessarily be suffering from back acne. There are always other possible skin affections to rule out when dealing with rashes ( papula or pustula lesions) for example prurigo, eczema/dermatitis, fungal skin infection etc).

Once you stop the pill you will start your period within a week's time. I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, do contact me through Healthcare Magic. Best wishes,Dr Rama"

"value": "Hi, Instead of self treatment, consult a qualified dermatologist. If the spot is painful, apply clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide till it heals. Later for the dark spot use a cream containing kojic acid/glycolic acid/hydroquinone for 4-8 weeks at night. Apply sunscreen with a SPF of 30 during daytime. Best would be to consult a dermatologist. Hope this helps you. Dr. Rahul Nagar MBBS, MD Consultant dermatologist New Delhi B"

"value": "Hi, You may contact me for more personal advice. Follow the advice of a dermatologist instead of using any home remedies like neem, lemon or garlic because they can do more harm than good. You have to use a retinoid either orally or locally to cure you of your pimples once and for all. Use a facewash which contains 1-2% salicylic acid. Do not take any protein supplements. Hope this helps you. Dr. Rahul Nagar MBBS, MD Consultant dermatologist"

"value": "i am using phisohex which was prescribed by a local dermatologist to treat my acne which i consider to be mild to severe. I ve seen some noticeable changes in the past 5 months that i ve been using it but i keep getting more breakouts lately. Could it be related to diet or sun exposure? And is this acne product effective for my treatment of acne? I would also like something for the black marks left by acne. Thanks."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hi Josh, Hexachlorophene is basically a disinfectant. I would rather advice you to use more skin friendly and acne specific products to treat acne. Use a salicylic acid based face wash and a water based moisturiser. Use topical antiacne creams like clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide/adapalene gel etc over acne lesions. If the need be oral antiacne therapy can also be started to treat acne. I would suggest you to fix an appointment with an expert dermatologist. Merely using phisohex would not help. It is as good as using dettol or savlon to keep your skin acne free. Take care."

I ve seen numerous dermatologists, been on everything except accutane. They said my liver test suggested accutane being a bad choice. I was 19 at that point. At this point in life, 33, I have had Ulcerative Colitis for 4 years. It seems to come and go with my Acne. More aggressive each time. What is going on with me?"

"value": "ulcerative colitis is not a disease of intestine only. it is an autoimmune disease, hence has impact on whole body, a good suggestion is to take curd with turmeric daily.. just try this for few months. better not to take accutane now as u hv a gastro problem."

To have acne free skin, follow a regular skin care routine- Use a salicylic acid based face wash Use water based moisturiser to keep face well hydrated Get your whiteheads and blackheads extracted on regular basis Oral isotretinoin and/or oral antibiotic may be required if acne is severe Use benzac ac gel in morning and deriva gel in night over acne lesions as well as acne prone areas.

"value": "I have quite serious acne and I m currently on my 4th week using Roaccutane . I have noticed a nasty cyst/ boil in my pubic area. It is filled with blood/puss and every time of popping it grows again and doesn t seem to be leaving me alone. Is it acne or could it be something more serious? I do seem to have spots around my pubic area but this seems more nasty than a spot?"
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hi , Thanks for writing in. You are suffering from folliculitis and acne. The Roaccutane has nothing to do with it. Continue the Roaccutane .You can continue the treatment and apply soframycin cream over the boil cyst.A course of oral antibiotics will be helpful. Visiting a dermatologist will allow proper evaluation of skin condition and prescription medicine.These will help in long term relief. Hope this helps. Good luck!
