I'm a bit confused about how to use this Halox S lotion that my doctor prescribed. They didn't specify how long I should leave it on. Can you help clarify how to properly use it?

View allI've noticed that my skin tone has gotten darker over the years. I used to have a lighter, whitish complexion until around ages 10 or 11, but it's changed gradually since then. I went to a dermatologist who recommended a skin lightening cream called Declipse, but I've been using it for a month without seeing much improvement. I'm feeling a bit concerned and unsure what to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated!
Ask your dermatologist for change of medicine and it takes minimum 90 days to see any difference have patience

I've noticed 34 painless bumps in my genital area that seem to be spreading. Should I consider surgery to remove them?
It's crucial to see a doctor for these genital bumps, especially if they are spreading. While they could be harmless, such as skin tags or ingrown hairs, they could also be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) like genital warts or molluscum contagiosum. Surgery isn't always the first or best approach, and a doctor can determine the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment, which might include medication, freezing, or other methods.

I'm currently on a low dose of isotretinoin, and it's really cleared up my acne. My skin's looking radiant and much fairer lately. I'm curious, does isotretinoin actually help with brightening your complexion? Also, my doctor mentioned switching to tretinoin gel after stopping Accutane. Will tretinoin help me keep this glow and maintain my skin tone?
Tretinoin will help you maintain that glow and skin tone after you stop isotretinoin. It continues the process of exfoliating the skin, preventing new acne, and improving skin texture and tone. Just ensure you follow your dermatologist's advice carefully regarding how to introduce tretinoin and remember to always protect your skin with sunscreen.
