I'm dealing with some pigmentation and scars on my cheeks and around my nose and I've heard glycolic acid creams might help. Could you recommend a cream that could be effective for treating these issues? I'm a bit worried and would love some guidance on what might work best.

Question

I'm noticing that whenever I eat foods that are considered "heaty," like spicy or fried items, I end up getting pimples on my face. It's really frustrating. Do you have any advice on how I can avoid this or clear up my skin when it happens? Is there something specific in these foods that's causing the breakouts?

Question

I accidentally drank hot water that was around 60 or 70 degrees. My lips and tongue got burned, and I still feel a burning sensation, but the color hasnt changed and there are no burn marks. My lips have started to recover a bit, but my tongue, especially the underside, still has severe issues. It's painful to eat. Is there any ointment or medication you recommend for my tongue?

I'm really worried about this whole HIV testing thing. If I'm getting tested like two months after a possible exposure, is that result considered conclusive, or should I be thinking about getting tested again later just to be sure?
