View allI'm 26 and my skin is really dry. I've noticed some wrinkles and nasolabial folds appearing, which seem quite noticeable now. I want to avoid filler injections, so I'm looking for ways to improve my skin with just medicines and external treatments like oils, creams, and moisturizers. I already switched from soap to a Nivea body wash, and from using Clean & Clear facewash to an AHA facewash. Lately, I've been using Aquastop sunscreen. I'm also trying a lemon sugar scrub for my dry skin and wrinkles and then applying a thick layer of castor oil. I've been doing this for about five days. Am I on the right track with this routine? Are there any specific creams, moisturizers, or serums that could help make my skin look more radiant and address these issues?

I've been dealing with macular amyloidosis for two years now and nothing seems to work creams, meds, nothing. Are there any surgical options like dermabrasion or chemical peels that could help? I'm worried about safety but also really want something that actually works. What do you suggest?
While topical treatments are the first line of defense for macular amyloidosis, dermabrasion and chemical peels are sometimes considered as options, but they carry risks and should be discussed with a dermatologist. Other surgical options like laser therapy, specifically Nd:YAG laser, have also been shown to be effective. It's crucial to consult with a dermatologist to determine the safest and most appropriate treatment plan for your specific case, as individual results can vary

Is it really possible to remove a tan? What are the best ways to get rid of it? Also, which type of doctor should I consult to help me completely remove a tan?
Yes, tan removal is possible. Some ways to remove tan include using sunscreen, exfoliating regularly, using skin-lightening creams containing ingredients like hydroquinone or kojic acid, and undergoing chemical peels or laser treatments. A dermatologist can help you in removing tan completely by recommending appropriate treatments such as prescription-strength skin-lightening creams or procedures like chemical peels or laser therapy.
