What should I look out for when starting on Differin?
Differin (or adapalene) is a type of retinoid (vitamin A derivative product). Purging is not common with Differin use. It is more common to experience some redness, dryness, irritation, burning/stinging sensation or peeling with the initial use of Differin. Should you experience this, it is advisable to use it just 2-3x a week every night while your skin gets used to the treatment. You can also use moisturizers to calm the skin down. Once your skin adapts to the medication, you may then increase the frequency of use to every night.
How do I get rid of these white spots on my arm that are growing larger? (photo)
Hello Wot, Based on your description you may have a condition called tinea versicolor. This is due to a fungal infection and is more common in hot and humid climates and in people who perspire more. After a few weeks of treatment with antifungal creams, the infection may have resolved, but the residual hypopigmentation (white marks) can persist for a longer period, for months. In such an instance, a fungal scraping or culture will help to determine whether there is still active fungus infection.
What kind of results can I expect after treatment for my receding hairline? (photo)
It appears you have male pattern hair loss. The main cause of this is high DHT (dihydrotestosterone) levels, a type of male hormone. Oral finasteride helps to reduce the amount of DHT. Other options include minoxidil and hair supplements such as viviscal. However these may not reverse your hair loss completely if it is advanced or rapidly progressing, although they will help to slow down the progression. Hair transplant is an option to restore the front hairline. These medications do come with some side effects and it is best to speak to your doctor to understand these better.
