I'm dealing with these jock itch scars and wondering if there's a way to get rid of them for good or if they'll just go away on their own. Also, is there a specific cream I should be using?

I've been dealing with really painful pimples on my face and I think they show up after I eat curd with my meals. It's been happening a lot lately, and I'm pretty concerned. Could the curd be the cause of my breakouts? I'd really appreciate any advice or insight into what's going on.

I've been using Lomela cream for my acne and pigmentation because a friend recommended it to me. I'm curious about how long I'm supposed to keep using it after I see results. Do I need to continue applying it to maintain those results? If so, for how long should that be? I'm just trying to figure out the right approach.

Lomela cream contains hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin which are used to treat hyperpigmentation and acne. It is usually recommended to use this cream for a limited period of time, typically around 4-8 weeks, to see visible results. Once you have achieved the desired results, you can gradually reduce the frequency of application. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider or dermatologist to determine the appropriate duration of treatment based on your individual response and skin condition.

So I've been on rifampicin for about two weeks to treat my tuberculosis, and I've noticed that my skin is becoming darker and kind of shiny. Is this something normal? Should I be worried about this change in my skin?

Skin getting dark and shiny is not a normal side effect. This could be a sign of a serious condition called drug-induced liver injury. I recommend stopping rifampicin immediately and consulting your healthcare provider. An alternative medication regimen may be necessary.
