View allI'm a 22-year-old woman dealing with acanthosis nigricans and excess weight. I know losing weight will help fade the pigmentation, but I have important events coming up in a month and need a faster solution. Are there any effective bleaching creams, gels, or laser treatments that could quickly reduce the dark patches? It's really affecting my confidence.
For a quicker solution to acanthosis nigricans (AN) within a month, consider a combination of topical treatments and cosmetic procedures, along with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Topical creams containing ingredients like retinoids, hydroquinone, or salicylic acid can help lighten the skin and improve texture. Chemical peels or laser therapy can also be used to improve the appearance of the dark patches. However, remember that weight loss and managing underlying causes are crucial for long-term improvement

I've been dealing with what looks like a ringworm on my cheeks. I'm really worried it's a fungal infection. I'm wondering if it's safe to use Candid B cream on my face for this. Can you advise if that's a good idea?
Yes, you can apply Candid B cream on your cheeks for fungal infection like ringworm. Apply a thin layer of Candid B cream twice a day on the affected area after cleaning and drying it. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.

I've been using Tretin ISO 20 mg for my adult acne since mid-October 2017, based on my doctor's advice. However, in November, my wife became pregnant, though we weren't planning it. I'm feeling a bit worried and am wondering if there could be any risks to my wife's health or the baby's health because I'm taking Tretin ISO. Could taking this medication have any negative effects? Would love to hear some guidance.
