I'm noticing these fat balls in my body, especially around my stomach, hands, and thighs. They're quite small right now, but I'm not sure what to do about them. Who should I reach out to for advice, and what kind of treatment options should I consider?

consult a general surgeon to evaluate the fat balls, likely lipomas, and discuss treatment options, which may include observation, surgical excision, or liposuction, depending on their size, location, and your overall health.

I'm having some trouble with my skin color. I've noticed that the skin on my buttline is really dark, even more so than my inner thighs, which are dark too. Is there any way to deal with this? It's kinda bothering me, and I'm not sure what to do.

Buttline skin is more black than inner thighs This condition is known as acanthosis nigricans, which is characterized by thick, dark, velvety skin in body folds and creases. To help improve this condition, you can try using a topical cream containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Corticosteroids. An example of a cream that combines these ingredients is Tri-Luma cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight, managing any underlying medical conditions like diabetes, and wearing loose-fitting clothing can also help improve the appearance of the skin.

I'm currently on acutret tablets for my pimples and I've been following my doctor's advice by not using any other creams except what he prescribed. I had an office event and used a foundation just for that day, and now I'm noticing more pimples. I'm getting nervous because my wedding is in December. Could using that other cream just once really cause this increase in pimples? Can you help me understand what's happening?

Applying foundation cream while using Acutret tablets may have clogged pores, triggered hormonal fluctuations, or irritated your skin, leading to increased pimples; however, it's essential to consult your doctor or dermatologist to determine the exact cause and adjust your skincare routine to ensure your skin clears up before your wedding in December.
