Question

I'm dealing with a situation here where I've been using adaferin gel for an hour every night and rejuglow face wash after getting advice from my doctor for my acne. But now, after a week, my acne's really flared up, and my skin's super dry, with itchy patches around my nose, mouth, and eyes. It's so dry, and even when I try to put on a moisturizer or use rose water, it burns. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something else I should try?

I'm really worried about the dark, thick skin on my knees caused by Acanthosis nigricans. Are there any effective home remedies or natural ways to lighten this darkness and reduce the thickness of the skin? I'm a bit self-conscious about it and hoping for some guidance on what I can do at home.

Question

I'm really concerned about my daughter's skin. She's getting these white spots on her face, and they seem to be getting bigger. We saw our pediatrician who thought it was a fungal infection and suggested an antifungal cream for 15 days. But after using it, there wasnt any improvement. So we went to a dermatologist, and he diagnosed it as pityriasis alba. He prescribed mixing Telenorm oil with coconut oil and applying it in the morning with a bit of sun exposure, plus using Flutivate E cream at night and a special shampoo, moisturizer, and soap. Im worried if this is the right treatment for pityriasis alba, or should I consider seeing another dermatologist for a second opinion?
