Acne scars can be treated with topical creams containing ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. You can try using a cream like Mederma Advanced Scar Gel, applying it to the affected areas twice a day. Additionally, you can use a cream with hydroquinone, such as Ambi Skincare Fade Cream, to help lighten any dark spots left by acne. Remember to apply sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

I've noticed some tiny black dots on my skin. They're really small and not painful at all, but I'm kind of worried. Are these something I should be concerned about?

Question

I'm noticing some white patches on my fingers and I've had them for a couple of months now. They don't seem to be spreading, which is a bit of a relief, but its still worrying me. After visiting a doctor, he told me it's vitiligo, but I'm not completely convinced. He prescribed some medications like Viterma capsules, Dermadew cream, Tacmod forte, Melanocyl ointment, Placentrex gel, and HHSONE cream. I've attached a few pictures for reference. Does this sound like vitiligo to you, and do you think these meds can actually help with it?

Question

I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis around my eyebrows. I was using ketoconazole shampoo on my scalp, and it seemed to help, but now it's come back again. I'm really stressed about it. Could you advise me on what my options are for treatment?
