I'm really curious about dxn tea tree cream and its effectiveness for treating acne. Is it actually helpful, or is it just another cream that ends up being a waste of money? I've tried other options before and just don't want to be disappointed again. What do you think?

DXN Tea Tree Cream can be useful in treating acne due to its ingredients:
- Tea Tree Oil (5%): Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help reduce acne.
- Aloe Vera: Soothes and calms the skin.
However, individual results may vary. It might not work for everyone, especially for severe acne.
Pros:
- Natural ingredients
- Affordable
- Can help with mild to moderate acne
Cons:
- May not be effective for severe acne
- Can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals
Not a waste of money, but it's essential to:
- Use it consistently
- Follow a proper skincare routine
- Be patient (may take time to see result

I've had dark knees and elbows for as long as I can remember, and it's really becoming a hassle, especially when I want to wear skirts, sleeveless tops, or dresses. I'm curious if there's any effective treatment to lighten these dark spots.
Dark knees and elbows can be frustrating. Don't worry, there are treatments to help: *Topical Treatments* 1. *Moisturizers*: Use rich moisturizers containing shea butter, coconut oil, or olive oil. 2. *Exfoliating creams*: Creams with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) help remove dead skin cells. 3. *Skin brightening creams*: Creams containing ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, or niacinamide can help reduce hyperpigmentation. *Home Remedies* 1. *Sugar scrub*: Exfoliate with a sugar scrub to remove dead skin cells. 2. *Lemon juice*: Apply lemon juice to help brighten the skin. 3. *Turmeric paste*: Mix turmeric powder with lemon juice or yogurt to create a paste that can help reduce hyperpigmentation. *Professional Treatments* 1. *Chemical peels*: A dermatologist can perform chemical peels to exfoliate the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. 2. *Microdermabrasion*: This non-invasive exfoliating treatment can help improve skin texture and tone. 3. *Laser therapy*: Laser treatments can help reduce hyperpigmentation and improve skin texture.

I've had these leech bites from a few months ago, and even though I've been putting boroline on them regularly, they just won't go away. They're not super bothersome, but they do itch sometimes, and it's been quite a while now. Should I be worried or try something else?
Seems like the leech bites may have caused some irritation and itching. To help with the healing process and alleviate the itching, you can try applying an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for about a week. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Claritin can also help with the itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
