I'm really stressed about the redness on my cheeks. I've tried several medications like isotretinoin 0.05, glocin gel, Vicco turmeric skin cream, benzoyl peroxide gel, clindamycin phosphate gel, and even diprovate, but nothing seems to work. I've consulted with a couple of doctors, but the redness just won't go away. Its really affecting my confidence, and to make it worse, my skin is super sensitive. Could you guide me on which of these might be the best option for me, or suggest something else that might help?

Given your sensitive skin, I recommend trying a gentle and soothing gel like "Avene Antirougeurs Calm Soothing Repair Mask". Apply a thin layer of this gel on your cheeks after cleansing your face, and leave it on for the recommended duration. This gel is specifically formulated to reduce redness and calm sensitive skin. Additionally, you can consider using a mild cleanser and moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin to help manage the redness. Remember to patch test any new product before applying it to your entire face to ensure compatibility with your skin.

View allI'm noticing that the skin on my face is unevenly toned. The area from my forehead to my nose is fair, but everything below my nose is darker. What could be causing this, and is there a treatment that can help even out my skin tone?
This condition is known as hyperpigmentation, where certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, leading to darker patches. To treat this, you can use a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer on the dark areas once daily, preferably at night. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.

I'm wondering if my fair is good because I have some black areas around my neck and on my forehead. If this is normal or healthy, I'm thinking of starting to use some kind of cream. Can you give me some advice on whether I should be concerned or if starting a cream would be a good idea?

Ive noticed that my face skin has become darker and the texture isnt uniform anymoresome areas are black and others are white. People have commented that my skin looks rough for my age. Theres also no glow, and it feels really dry, almost like its lifeless. What could be causing these changes, and is there anything I can do about it?
It sounds like your skin may be experiencing hyperpigmentation, dryness, and texture irregularities, possibly due to factors like sun exposure, dehydration, or skin barrier damage. Here are some recommendations: 1. Drink plenty of water to improve skin hydration from within. 2. Use a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer twice daily. 3. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily to prevent further darkening. 4. Try a mild exfoliant (like lactic acid) once or twice a week to promote even skin texture. Consider seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment, which may include topical treatments or other therapies to even skin tone and improve texture. These steps should help improve your skins hydration, glow, and uniformity over time.
