I'm a 35-year-old guy working as a software engineer with regular hours from 10 AM to 7 PM in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Each summer, I'm dealing with this burning sensation on the top of my right foot, just behind my toes. It's weird because it only happens when I'm trying to sleep, causing me to wake up sometimes in the middle of the night. Any idea what could be causing this or how to get rid of it?

I've been struggling with acne vulgaris for quite a while now. I've been using Screen 70, Zyclin Nanogel, and Adalene Nanogel for a year, but I haven't seen much improvement. Do you think cutting out dairy could help? And is Skinlite cream a good option for dealing with acne scars?
