Question

I've been really stressed this year and taking a lot of pain meds, like ibuprofen and naproxen. I stopped the naproxen because I thought it might be the problem. About a month and a half ago, I noticed a few tiny red spots on my upper arms. Even after stopping the naproxen, the spots are still there, and I think there are more now. I had a CBC done when I first noticed them and the platelets were normal, but all the stuff I read online is just really scary. I'm freaking out a bit. What could be causing these spots?

Question

I'm worried about my face getting so oily after being dry for so long. I've been dealing with regular breakouts and the pimples I get are mostly whiteheads, blackheads, and sometimes a few painful bumps. I've tried a bunch of different products to get rid of them, but nothing really seems to work. I don't have a ton of pimples, just around 8 to 10, and I do use makeup as well. Could you suggest a routine that might help keep my face clear of zits?

Question

Hey, I've been prescribed Dutas 0.5mg and was wondering if I could use Dupecia 0.5mg instead. Are they basically the same thing? I'm concerned about the side effects because they seem quite serious. Is it safe to take, or could I skip it since I'm already applying minoxidil?

Question

I'm wondering if it's okay to use retino 0.4 during the day, or should I stick to applying it at night, especially around my eyes for treating milia? Can you give me some advice on what would be best?
