I'm currently on homeopathy treatment, but it's not working out for me. I tried allopathy treatment before too, but my pimples just won't go away. I'm feeling really scared and disappointed about this whole situation. What should I do? Can you help?

I understand your concern about your persistent pimples despite trying homeopathic and allopathic treatments. In such cases, you can consider using a topical retinoid cream such as Adapalene (e.g. Differin) at night. Additionally, you can use a benzoyl peroxide gel (e.g. Benzac AC) in the morning. Make sure to apply sunscreen during the day while using these products. If your pimples are severe, you may also benefit from oral antibiotics like Doxycycline. It's important to use these medications as directed by a healthcare professional and to be patient as it may take a few weeks to see improvement.

Can homeopathy really cure herpes? I'm worried if this is just a scam for money or if there's some truth to it. Any information would help.

While some homeopathic remedies claim to treat herpes, there is no scientific evidence to support their effectiveness, and many experts consider these claims to be unsubstantiated and potentially fraudulent, as the US FDA and National Institutes of Health (NIH) have not approved any homeopathic remedies for herpes treatment.

I've been wearing glasses for 15 years and now have deep marks on my nose along with dark circles. Would surgery help fix the dark circles and nose indents or are there other options I should consider first?

While surgery can address nose indentations from glasses and some types of dark circles, it's not always the first or best option. Consider non-surgical treatments for the nose, and a range of options for dark circles before jumping to surgery.

I've noticed that my upper lip is quite dark, and the skin at the corners of my lips seem darker too. Plus, my lips are constantly dry and chapped no matter what time of year it is. Is there any way to permanently fix these issues?

Yes, these problems can be effectively managed and potentially cured with a combination of topical treatments, lifestyle changes, and professional interventions, such as using lip balms with SPF, exfoliating with sugar or salt scrubs, applying turmeric or lemon juice to reduce hyperpigmentation, and consulting a dermatologist for chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments to address persistent issues.
