I'm a bit confused about the difference between Deriva CMS and Clear Gel. My doctor recommended Deriva CMS for my acne scars, but I'm really wondering if it will actually help reduce them. Also, what exactly is Clear Gel used for? Can you help clarify this for me?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Deriva CMS will likely help with acne scars over time by improving skin texture, reducing dark spots, and stimulating collagen production. It may not fully eliminate deep scars, but it should help improve overall appearance. Clear Gel is more suited for treating active acne and will not have much impact on reducing scars.

View allI've been dealing with confluent reticulated papillomatosis for about a year now, and the dermatologist I saw gave me a steroid cream. It works for a bit, but then the condition just comes back. It's pretty embarrassing, and I'm really anxious about going out because of it. Is there any permanent treatment for this condition?

I'm currently undergoing treatment for acanthosis nigricans, and my doctor recommended using a radiofrequency technique to get rid of some small black spots under my arm. I recently moved to a new city, and I'm wondering if I can continue this treatment here. Is this something I should be concerned about when changing locations, or can I just find a local specialist to continue with the radiofrequency treatment?

I'm really concerned because I've been taking ashwagandha for the past 45 days and suddenly I've got a lot of cystic acne on my face. Could ashwagandha be causing this?
Ashwagandha is generally considered safe, but some individuals may experience adverse effects, including skin issues like acne; ashwagandha can stimulate hormones, including testosterone, which may lead to increased sebum production and acne in some people, particularly those with hormonal imbalances or acne-prone skin; consider stopping ashwagandha for a few days to see if your acne improves,
