I've noticed a small white bump on my upper lip that popped up about 23 days ago. It's not painful, but it's kinda near the center of my lips. Should I be worried that this might be something serious?

I've been using Panderm plus cream for the last six months, and it made my skin really fair. But now I'm starting to get a lot of pimples on my face. I'm worried because I read somewhere online that using Panderm plus for too long can make your skin permanently sensitive to the sun. Do you think my face will clear up and become pimple-free again?

Panderm plus cream contains clobetasol, neomycin, and miconazole. Prolonged use of clobetasol can lead to skin thinning, acne, and increased sensitivity to the sun. To treat the pimples on your face, you can use a gentle cleanser and apply a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. You can also consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
