Ive been dealing with some small acne on my face and went to a dermatologist about a month ago. He prescribed some medicines after examining me, but unfortunately, the acne hasn't improved. The medications were Phexin 500 mg, Doxy 1 LR 100 mg capsules, Zitcare, and Acnovate gel. Should I keep using these or try something different? I'm just a bit worried about why they haven't worked yet and would love some advice!

the medications are appropriate for the condition ,if they doesnt work on your skin need to switch to other drugs,visit your dermatologist for appropriate treatment and ruleout the cause for acne.

I got my nose pierced about two weeks ago, and now there's a bump forming inside my nose. I'm pretty worried about it and wondering what it could be. Can you help me figure out how to deal with this bump?

Nose ring is the source so remove it and then take consultation, it looks infected preferably physical consultation
