Hey, so I've been dealing with this acne hyperpigmentation and scars issue, and back in February, a dermatologist gave me two creamsdepiwhite and cutisoftfor 20 days. But I kind of messed up by not going back for a follow-up and just kept using them for about seven months. When I finally went back, he said my skin got darker and extra sensitive, leading to more pimples. Now he's given me kozimax and glocin gel. I'm really curious if glocin gel helps fade scars or if it just targets the bacteria. Also, is having regular acne something that could hint at liver damage?

How Glocin Gel Works
- Nicotinamide: Reduces inflammation and improves skin tone.
- Clindamycin: Targets acne-causing bacteria.

Effectiveness on Acne Scars
- Nicotinamide may help with inflammation but is not a primary scar-fading agent.
- Clindamycin does not directly fade scars.
- Consider additional treatments for scar reduction.
-
Acne and Liver Health
- Common causes: Hormonal changes, stress, diet.
- Regular acne is not typically a sign of liver damage.

View allI'm really confused about whether I have milia or molluscum. Some doctors tell me it's molluscum, but others say it's milia, and I can't really tell what it is. Could you help explain the difference and maybe give me some tips on identifying which one I might have?
Milia and molluscum are two distinct skin conditions that can be confusing to diagnose. Milia Milia, also known as milk spots or keratin cysts, are small, white or yellowish bumps on the skin. They occur when keratin, a protein, becomes trapped beneath the skin's surface. Characteristics of milia: - Small, usually 1-2 mm in diameter - White or yellowish in color - Firm to the touch - Typically found on the face, especially around the eyes, nose, and mouth - Can also occur on the arms, legs, and torso Molluscum Contagiosum Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV). It leads to the formation of small, flesh-colored or pink bumps on the skin. Characteristics of molluscum contagiosum: - Small, usually 2-5 mm in diameter - Flesh-colored or pink in color - Soft to the touch - Typically found on the face, neck, arms, and legs - Can be contagious through skin-to-skin contact or sharing personal items

I've got this black spot on my shoulder and back that we call Bhabuti in my local language. I'm really not sure how it started, but it definitely spreads more when the summer months come around. Can you provide any advice or solutions on how to deal with it?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been dealing with this scabies issue for almost 45 months now. I used permethrin and lindane lotion, and that helped a lot, but I'm frustrated because I still have these nodular bumps and persistent itching, especially in my armpits and genitals. I've tried corticosteroid ointments and even oral antiallergics, but nothing seems to fully clear it up. What else can I do to get rid of them and the itching once and for all? I'm pretty concerned about why this is just not going away.
That means there are active mites still present visit dermatologist for complete course of the treatment and councelling regarding preventive measures.
