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

It's making it really hard to sleep at night and doing any kind of physical activity like running or jogging, which used to be so easy for me, is now a challenge. Do you think I should see a dermatologist for this?

I've been using Lumise C gel for my acne marks and skin tan, but I'm also struggling with low vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels. Could these deficiencies be affecting my skin, or is the gel enough to help with my issues? I'm really concerned about how to get my skin healthy again. Any advice would be great.

Using Lumise C gel can help with your acne marks and skin tan. It contains Vitamin C which can help brighten the skin and reduce dark spots. Additionally, it can also help in collagen production which can improve skin texture. For your low Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels, I recommend taking supplements such as Neurobion Forte (Vitamin B12) and D-rise (Vitamin D) as prescribed by your doctor.
