Hey, I've got this wound on my face and it's starting to heal, but now the skin's turned pink. Should I be doing something specific to treat it, or will it just heal on its own naturally? I'm kind of curious and a bit worried about it.

The pink color skin around the healed wound is a normal part of the healing process; with time, it should fade naturally, but to promote faster skin tone evenness, consider using topical treatments like silicone gel or sheeting, vitamin E oil, or aloe vera gel, and protect the area from sun exposure using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ to prevent hyperpigmentation.

View allI'm really struggling with acne and I've got these pimples that just won't go away. I've heard about Clop G can I use that for my acne? Also, I've got these scars from previous breakouts. Do you have any advice on how to get rid of them quickly? I'm really eager to find something that works.
Clop G cream contains Clindamycin and Clotrimazole, which can be used for treating acne and pimples. However, it is important to consult with a dermatologist before using it to determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. To help remove acne and its scars fast, you can consider using a combination of topical treatments such as Benzoyl peroxide gel in the morning and Tretinoin cream at night.
