Small, red pinhead likenrashes which seem to be deeply embedded in skin. The rash cannot be felt by running our hand across it.

I'm really worried because I'm about to get married on April 24th, and I just found out I might have a sebaceous cyst. The doctor I visited gave me some meds for a few days and said we can see how it goes. But if it doesn't improve, he mentioned maybe needing a scan. I'm kind of stressed about this, and I'm wondering if there's any way to speed things up, like with some kind of needle procedure or something to take care of it fast? Any advice would be super helpful!

I've been dealing with these white spots for around 10 years, and it's becoming a real concern for me. I'm really curious about what they might be and would love some advice on how to possibly get rid of them. Could you help me understand what these might be and suggest any treatments or remedies?

White spots on the skin can be caused by various conditions such as vitiligo or fungal infections. Treatment options may include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream to help reduce inflammation and repigment the skin. Another option is phototherapy using UV light to stimulate melanin production. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.
