I've noticed a dark red line and a spot on my nose over the past few days, and it's just getting darker. Honestly, it's starting to look pretty bad. Could you give me some advice on how to get rid of it?

This could be a sign of a skin condition or infection. I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Neosporin on the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can apply a small amount of hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at it. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been using Faiza beauty cream, and while it initially made my skin look better and fairer, I've started having issues since I stopped using it. Now my skin is having a bad reaction with lots of pimples appearing in a really concerning way. I'm really stressed about it and wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this mess. Any advice on how to replace this cream or what steps I should take to get my skin back on track would be super helpful.

I've been hearing a lot about oral glutathione tablets with Vitamin C for skin whitening, and I'm curious if they really work. Are there any solid clinical studies backing this up? Have you seen any noticeable results in your patients who use these oral glutathione supplements? There are so many expensive products out there, and I'd love to get some insights before making a purchase decision.

I'm still dealing with a pretty bad infection on my inner thigh, and even after taking and applying Terbest like my doctor suggested, it hasn't gotten any better. It's been over a month now, and I'm not sure what to do next. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on or what steps I should take?
