I've been using HH Lite cream at night, and it's really helped clear up my acne quite a bit. But Ive noticed my face tends to stay red a lot now. Also, whenever I have a night out with alcohol, I seem to break out with acne the next day. I tried taking an LCZ tablet for what I think might be an allergy, and it seems to help, but only to a certain extent. I'm curious about whether there are any side effects from this mix of treatments. Is there an alternative to HH Lite that might not cause redness or react with alcohol?

Question

I'm having this issue where my right buttock gets really itchy sometimes, and when I touch it, it feels like there's a mosquito bite there, even though I know it's not. The skin looks normal and isn't dry, which is confusing me. Any quick remedies or creams you can suggest to help with the itching?

Question

I've got this wound that healed, but now the skin around it has turned this dark black color and it's not going back to my usual skin tone. What could be causing this? Should I be worried? Is there something I can do to help it return to normal? It's been a little unsettling.

Question

I've noticed this deep horizontal crease line on my stomach, right below my ribs. It's kind of faint in the morning but by the end of the day, it becomes this deep, often red line that's pretty unattractive, especially when I wear a Saree or lehenga. Could you recommend an over-the-counter cream to help get rid of it permanently?
