View allI'm dealing with a lot of acne after getting my face threaded, and my doctor put me on Minoz OD and Avene Triacneal cream for 10 days. The thing is, my acne's actually getting worse, and the scars look more noticeable. I thought the cream would make it peel, but it's just drying it out, and I'm not seeing any peeling even after 10 days. I'm wondering how long I'm supposed to keep using this stuff before I see any results? Why am I ending up with new pimples every day? Could it be the treatment or just a coincidence? Ive never had this many pimples on my face before. What should I do? Any insights on how long it usually takes for acne to fade with these treatments?

I'm really worried about my wife's stretch marks on her inner thighs. She's been using Stretchrid cream recommended by a dermatologist, but its only shown a little improvement. She took an Unwanted 72 contraceptive pill in September 2019, and she's noticed a small weight gain recently, which might be linked to the stretch marks. Can you suggest the right treatment or medication for this?
Retinoids can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by promoting collagen production and increasing skin cell turnover. She can try using Retino-A cream 0.05% once daily at night on the affected areas. In addition to topical treatments, she can also consider taking Vitamin E supplements to support skin health and elasticity. I recommend taking Evion 400mg capsule once daily after a meal. It's important to continue using these medications consistently and be patient, as it may take some time to see significant improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks.

I've got these syringoma clusters around my eyelids and under my eyes, and along with that, I have dark circles. Is there really no solution other than laser treatments, electrolysis, or plastic surgery? I'm quite concerned and would love to find a way to treat this. Have you got any suggestions or alternative methods that might help?
