I'm dealing with pitted acne scars and after doing some research, TCA cross seems like the most promising treatment for me. The problem is, I'm in Pune and I'm not sure where I can get this done. I'm feeling a bit stuck on what to do next because I'm not even sure where to start looking for the right place. Could you help guide me on where I might be able to find this treatment and maybe give some advice on how to proceed?

I'm 16 and I've noticed my lips have become really dark, like almost black. I don't smoke or anything. They used to be a nice rosy color when I was a kid, and I'm not sure how or when they changed. It's kind of worrying now because I think it looks unhealthy. How can I get my lips back to their rosy shade?

I've been dealing with acne on my chest and back for a bit now and was wondering if it's okay to use Candid B dusting powder for it. Do you think that would help, or is there something else I should try?

Candid B dusting powder contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone. It is primarily used for fungal skin infections and not specifically for acne. For acne on the chest and back, it is recommended to use topical treatments containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. You can try using Benzac AC gel or Salicylic Acid cleanser for your acne. Apply a thin layer of Benzac AC gel once daily or use the Salicylic Acid cleanser to wash the affected areas twice a day.
