Managing Acne and Dry Eyes

Patient's Query

I am a 21 years old male and i have had acne since the age of 16. I took isotretinoin at the age of 19 and my acne cleared up but i had to go through the treatment with the pain of severe dry eyes, i didn't want the acne to come back. My acne got cleared up but i was left with dry eyes. I went to an eye doctor and got diagnosed with (MGD) and the doctor told me to put warm compress and take Omega-3 supplement and my eyes got better but now i got the acne back, and when i quit taking the omega 3 supplement my acne clears up but my eyes gets dry again.

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Dry eyes you expe­rience is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which can occur afte­r taking isotretinoin. Supplements like­ omega-3s may help your dry eye­s. However, they could worse­n your acne. It's wise to consult a dermatologist to strike a balance­ between managing both conditions.

I am a boy and I am 22 years old. I have a lot of itching under and around my penis. More this summer. Been using Ringguard for a long time. When I use the ointment it goes away. If left out it itches again. Tell me how to get rid of it

Male | 22

You may have jock itch, a fungal infe­ction. Itching around the penis is a symptom. It grows in warm, moist areas, so summe­r can cause it. Ringguard helps, but it may return. To tre­at it: keep the are­a clean and dry, wear loose clothing, use­ antifungal creams, don't share towels.

I suggest you to talk to your doctor about your mother's condition. Based on your mother's condition, he may suggest some different medicine or treatment. And for blisters, making certain lifestyle changes like eating healthy food, taking rest and avoiding certain triggers can prove helpful.

From last month I'm suffering with full hair fall the hair is falling from the tip and hair fall is very high

Female | 21

It seems as if you may be suffering from severe hair loss. It may as well have been caused by many factors like stress, hormonal changes or a disease. I would suggest visiting a dermatologist, who could examine your scalp and diagnose the reason for hair loss. They can then develop a customized treatment plan for you

I am 34 yrs old female and I have acne and acne marks problem on my face - recently my face has been very dry and acne is coming also I have tight white pores issue which is making my skin look very dull and uneven.

Female | 34

As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.

I have acne ...tiny bumps on my full face.. since may years...I want to get red from it

Female | 30

Skin conditions that are common to individuals of all ages include acne. It is marked by small bumps on the face and other areas of the body. These bumps are due to blockage of the pores and excessive sebum production. To avoid acne it is necessary to visit a dermatologist who specializes in diseases of the skin. They can prescribe treatments, including creams that you apply directly on the skin or take oral medication as well as other procedures recommended by doctors to make acne go away and not reoccur.
