I've noticed that my skin tone has gotten darker over the years. I used to have a lighter, whitish complexion until around ages 10 or 11, but it's changed gradually since then. I went to a dermatologist who recommended a skin lightening cream called Declipse, but I've been using it for a month without seeing much improvement. I'm feeling a bit concerned and unsure what to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Question

I'm really worried about my father's health. He's been on a lot of medications and injections for his psoriasis, and he also has arthritis. If he starts taking Aprezo, how long would he need to stay on it? Are we talking months or years? This is really important to know.

Question

I'm really worried about my friend because they keep getting these painful pocks between their chest area. It's been happening quite frequently, and the last one was really big and hurt a lot. This has been going on for the past 23 weeks. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what we should do about it?

Question

I've noticed this small hole in my skin, kind of looks like a needle prick. It's not red, but it feels tender to touch, and there's a bump under the skin. When I first saw it, the area was warm. There's no pus, but the bump feels pretty hard. It's not really painful, but it does hurt if I press on it. I'm a bit worried. Do you think this is something I should check out?
