I'm dealing with a lot of acne scars all over my face, and the acne itself just won't stop. I've been using Betnovate N, which seems to be doing wonders for reducing the pimples, but the scars aren't budging at all. Could you give me some advice on what I should do about the scars?

- For acne scars, consider using products with ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, or niacinamide to promote skin healing and reduce pigmentation. For active acne, keep using Betnovate N as its helping, but also consult a dermatologist for long-term

View allI've been really worried about these itchy rashes that have come back again on my body, and I'm not sure why they're happening. A while back, I had rashes on my face and scalp, and after seeing a local doctor, I found out I had a high IGE level of 930. The meds seemed to help back then, and my rashes went away, but now they're back even though my IGE level is down to 330. I stumbled upon something online about Staphylococcus aureus possibly being the cause, and on top of all this, I'm dealing with digestion problems. I'm really confused and would love some guidance to figure out what's going on. Could these issues be connected, or am I looking in the wrong direction?
Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria commonly found on the skin and in the nose, which can cause infections, including skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, eczema, and impetigo; given your history of recurring itchy rashes, high IgE levels, and digestion problems, it's possible that S. aureus is contributing to your symptoms, especially since S. aureus can produce toxins that exacerbate skin conditions and may also be linked to gut health issues; consult a dermatologist or an allergist to discuss

I've been taking isotretinoin at 20 mg and it's really drying out my lips. I've tried a few lip balms, but nothing seems to help. Could you recommend a lip balm that might work better? I'm getting a bit worried about how chapped they're getting.
Dry lips is the most common side effect of Isotretinoin,use butter based lipbalms as they are long lasting and stay hydrated
