I'm having a bit of a freak-out right now. I've always had a few breakouts after getting my back waxed, but this time it's way worse. My back and even my upper chest are completely covered in these tiny red breakouts. It's really worrying me. Do you have any idea why this might be happening or what I should do about it?

It is not unusual to experience breakouts or irritation after waxing. The widespread nature of your breakouts this time may be caused due to folliculitis or allergic rash. It may also be contact dermatitis to the type of wax used on this occassion. It is best to consult a dermatologist for further intervention.

Question

I woke up this morning with some bruises on my inner thighs, and it's kinda weird because I haven't been doing any intense physical stuff. They're not hurting when I touch them, though. I usually sit in a funny way at work, like with one foot under my leg, but I'm not sure if that could cause such dark purple bruising. What's going on here?

Question

I've been struggling with really bad tanning on my forehead for a while now. I've tried a bunch of things like kojic acid creams, Sabiglow, and I've even had a yellow peel done. I've also been taking Pinodin G for a couple of months. Right now, I'm using Tazret cream as recommended by my dermatologist, but honestly, I haven't noticed any difference. I work from home, so I'm not out in the sun much, but I still apply a light sunscreen. Can you suggest any effective anti-tanning creams, scrubs, or face packs? I'm really looking for something that works.
