Question

I'm dealing with acne and after talking to a doctor, I began using Acnestar Clindamycin Nicotinamide. I've been on this for about a week now, but my acne seems to be getting worse instead of better. What should I do?

Question

I've got this melamine pigmentation issue right above my upper lip, and it's making that area look darker than the rest of my face. I tried using HH lite cream for a while, but after about 23 days, I noticed my skin there got reddish and swollen. Do you know of any other creams that might help without causing these problems? Also, I've got mixed skin, and every time I put on sunscreen, I start sweating a lot, leaving my face looking really oily and dark. Do you have any suggestions that could help out with both of these issues?

Question

I've noticed this small yellow patch on my left arm for a few days now. Could it be related to my liver or something? I'm not experiencing any other symptoms, just this patch, and I've included a picture of it. What do you think it might be?

Question

I'm dealing with pimples and marks on my face and I'm currently using tivenca gel in the afternoon and at night, plus peroclin gel in the evening. I'm curious about something though when I apply the tivenca gel at night and leave it on while I sleep, then wash my face with tone n glow face wash in the morning, am I somehow reducing the effectiveness of the tivenca gel? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
