I'm really worried about some hypopigmented spots on my skin. I came across a picture online that looks a lot like what's happening with me. Do you think using Whitcare skin cream could help with this? Also, someone mentioned aloe vera might be useful for hypopigmented skin. Is that true? Would love to get your insight on this.

Whit-care skin cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone which can be helpful in treating hypopigmented skin. It is important to use it under the guidance of a dermatologist to avoid any side effects. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area once daily at night. Aloe Vera can be beneficial for hypopigmented skin as it has moisturizing and healing properties. It can help improve the overall health of the skin and promote pigmentation. You can apply pure aloe Vera gel directly to the affected area twice daily for best results.

View allI've been struggling with these large red acnes or allergic bumps on my forehead lately. I tried using Castor NF with ofloxacin and terbinafine clobetasol, but they haven't helped at all. The bumps are really painful to touch, and they're not just staying on my foreheadthey're spreading to other parts of my face. I'm starting to feel really frustrated as they seem to be growing more. When I use Castor NF, they shrink a little bit, but not enough to make a difference. What could be going on, and how can I get them to stop spreading?
it seems like acne vulgaris which is aggressive, no need to worry visit yuour dermatologist for appropriate approach,consume balanced diet and more fruits for a better result,personal hygiene is important.

I've got a boil on my arm and I'm worried it's MRSA because I've dealt with that in the past. I visited the doctor, and they prescribed mupirocin ointment for me, but they said to put it in my nose. I'm a bit confused because the instructions say it's not meant for intranasal use. Do you think I should follow the doctor's advice even though the ointment is labeled for external use?
Mupirocin ointment is indeed meant for external use only and should not be used intranasally, as mentioned in the instructions. If you have concerns about using it in your nose, it would be best to clarify with your doctor or seek a second opinion. For the boil on your arm, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics such as Bactrim or Clindamycin to treat MRSA infections.
