I have dark black pimple marks on my face and I'm really worried about them. Can you suggest some medicines or treatments to fade them? I don't want to go for facial surgery what other options do I have?

Dark pimple marks can fade with creams like hydroquinone, tretinoin, or azelaic acid; chemical peels or laser treatments are non-surgical options with good results.

I'm noticing something that looks like perioral dermatitis around my mouth and chin. The only change in my life recently is that I moved to a new place with really hard water. Could the water be causing this? Also, I tried using lotion but it just made things flakier and scalier. I even used a prescription steroid cream and that didnt seem to work either. What do you think might be happening?

yes

I'm dealing with really thin and scanty hair, so I went to see a trichologist. They prescribed me Mintop Eva 5 lotion and told me to apply 1ml daily. I'm curious, after putting on the Mintop, is it okay if I put oil on my hair after, say, 3 hours?

Yes you can apply no problem
