I'm really concerned about my wife's skin. Before we got married, she had such clear skin, but just a month after the wedding, she started breaking out with acne. It's gotten so bad that it's really affecting her mood, making her feel depressed. We've already seen a couple of dermatologists, but nothing seems to help. We even went to a gynecologist, and they mentioned it might be due to hormonal imbalance. We're feeling pretty lost right now. Any advice on what we could do next?

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated

I've noticed that over the past couple of years, my ear lobes and knuckles have become much darker than the rest of my skin. It's quite noticeable and I'm a bit concerned about it. Can you recommend a cream or treatment that could help lighten this discoloration?
Darkening of the skin in these areas could be due to various reasons such as friction, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. To lighten the complexion of your ear lobes and knuckles, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is to use a cream like "Melalite Forte Cream" which contains hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.

So, I've been dealing with melanin depigmentation and tried out this Pigmanorm cream that's got hydroquinone 4, hydrocortisone 1, and tretinoin 0.1. I applied it for three days, and now my face is all red in those spots. I stopped using the cream, but I'm kind of freaking out about whether this redness will go away on its own. Right now, I'm using Bioderma Sensibio Forte cream because I heard it's good for flushed skin. Do you think the redness will just fade away, or is it something that's going to stick around for a while? Also, I'm putting on Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 three times a day. Could you check out the pics and tell me what you think?
