I'm experiencing a strange, random stinging sensation on my skin all over my body. I'm not exactly sure what kind of tests I need. Should I be looking at seeing a neurologist, or would a dermatologist be a better option for this kind of issue? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I've noticed that around 10 or 15 of my underarm hairs on one side have turned white all of a sudden. Is this something I should be worried about? It seems really strange to me. Why did only a few hairs change color, and why on just one side? Could there be an underlying reason for this?

I've been experiencing a sudden acne breakout on my cheeks and chin for the past 12 weeks, which is really unusual for me since I don't typically get acne. I even got tested for PCOD but that came out negative. I'm really confused and worried about what's causing this. Any ideas on what might be going on?

Sudden acne breakouts on the cheeks and chin in females can sometimes be due to hormonal fluctuations or changes in skincare products. Since your PCOD test results are negative, it's good to rule out hormonal imbalance. You can try using topical treatments containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. I recommend using "Differin Gel" once daily on the affected areas. Additionally, you can use "Cetaphil" gentle skin cleanser twice a day. If the acne persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing some white streaks on the sides of my face, right on the cheekbones. They're not really spots or patches, but they definitely look fairer compared to the rest of my skin. Any idea what might be causing this?

The white streaks on your cheekbones could be due to several reasons, including hypopigmentation, vitiligo, pityriasis alba, or idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis; so consult dermatologist
