I'm really concerned about my fiance's dark knuckles on her hands and feet. The doctor recommended she takes Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, and Restretra HD tablets for a month. I'm curious about what could be causing these dark knuckles. Also, I'm wondering if Restretra will truly help with this issue. Could you provide some insight into this?

I'm wondering if Tivenca gel can be used instead of Papulex for my face, and if it's safe to leave on overnight. Could you let me know if that's okay?
Tivenca gel is not a direct replacement for Papulex for the face. Papulex is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin and contains ingredients like nicotinamide and zinc PCA to help control excess oil production and reduce inflammation. Tivenca gel, on the other hand, is primarily used for the treatment of various skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment for your skin condition. For acne treatment, you can consider using Papulex gel on the affected areas of the face in the evening before bedtime. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of the gel and leave it on overnight for best results.
