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'm dealing with white patches on my skin and I think it might be vitiligo. I've already seen a doctor before who gave me a prescription for MELGAIN, but it's really pricey. Can you suggest something else that might work?

Could you help me figure out how to lighten the skin between my thighs? It's gotten darker, maybe from friction or wearing tight jeans. Also, near the scrotum, the skin is darker because I had ringworm there as a child. What can I do about this?
