I've been prescribed 5 mg of Tretiva for my acne, and I'm wondering if that's enough to keep breakouts at bay over the next 20 days. I'm nervous it might not be enough. Any insights?

Question

I've been struggling with dark circles under my eyes for the past 10 years. I've tried several dark circle creams, but nothing seems to work. Could this be linked to my digestive system, even though I don't have any digestive problems? Also, I'm noticing premature grey hair and experiencing hair loss. Do you think these issues require a physical examination, or is there something else I should consider?

Question

I've noticed my skin is getting darker, and I've got these patches with hard, dry areas. I was told it might be macular amyloidosis, so a doctor prescribed glutathione pills and some creams, but I didn't see any improvement and stopped. I'm really worried because I'm not sure if there's a permanent solution to this. Is there a more effective treatment out there?

Question

I'm dealing with these jock itch scars and wondering if there's a way to get rid of them for good or if they'll just go away on their own. Also, is there a specific cream I should be using?
