I'm really struggling with ingrown hairs every time I shave or use any hair removal method. It's so tough trying to get rid of them, and on top of that, I've got these strawberry legs. Even after waxing, my pores still show up, and it's been like this for years. I'm super embarrassed about how my legs look. I live in Bangalore and would really appreciate any advice you have. What can I do to improve this situation?

View allI've been dealing with acne and pimple breakouts for the past 5 years, and thankfully they have finally stopped. But now I'm left with a face full of scars, acne marks, and discoloration. What can I do to even out my skin tone and maybe reduce these marks and scars?

I've got a small lump on my cheek that popped up a few hours after I woke up. It's lighter than my normal skin tone, and I can't figure out what it is or how it happened. It's really noticeable and I'm a bit worried. What could this be?
That could be due to insect bite, don't try to squeeze it, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I've been dealing with this pitryasis rosea thing since last week. The doctor said it might take a few months to clear up and gave me some mild soap and lotion. But now the first rashes are turning brown and feel bumpy and scaly. It's like I can feel them raised on my skin. They look really bad, and it doesn't seem like they're going away anytime soon. Is this normal? What should I expect, and is there anything else I can do?
It is normal for the rash in pityriasis rosea to evolve over time, with the initial rash often becoming darker in color and developing a scaly texture. To help alleviate the symptoms and promote healing, you can consider using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily can help with any itching. Make sure to continue using the prescribed mild soap and lotion as well. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
