BENZOYL PEROXIDE vs ISOTRETINOIN

Our clinic is pretty high volume so not a lot of time. I typically ask about finger, knee, and heel pain, as well a

I’m currently on 20mg isotretinoin (Accutane) and have been on it four around five months now. I’ve had eczema my entire life, but it has never gotten this severe. I apply Cetaphil moisturiser cream every night and morning, followed by 1% Dermaid. I occasionally take antihistamines such as Telfast t

Hey all. My husband has adult onset acne and it is brutal. He's been trying topicals from the dermatologist for months, including retinol and special face and body washes, and has seen virtually no improvement.

Hi fellow Redditors, I am struggling with psoriasis for the past 10 years and am only 22 years old. I have tried various treatments such as isotretinoin, ayurvedic, homeopathic medicine, etc., but nothing seems to work. My psoriasis only gets worse every winter. I was wondering if anyone has had exp
