I'm really worried about these dark toe knuckles I've had for about 34 years. Last year, I tried using HALOXS ointment, and while it seemed to work initially, it only helped for a few days. Now it doesn't seem to do anything and has even made my skin color uneven. I'm really hoping for a permanent solution to this. Any advice?

I'm dealing with Grade 1 acne around my chin, jawline, and cheeks. I'm using Clindac A1 gel in the morning for a couple of hours and Deriva Cms Gel at night, also for a few hours before washing it off. The doctor also put me on Doxy 1 ldr forte, 100 mg, twice a day for 10 days. I'm really hoping to get rid of this acne completely. Could you tell me how long it might take, and if there's a chance this will leave any scars?

I've been dealing with Tinea Cruris near my crotch, and it's finally cured, but before I saw a dermatologist, someone advised me to use Betnovate. Now, I've noticed that it's caused some thinning of my skin. Is there anything I can do to help with that?

Betnovate (betamethasone) can cause skin thinning (atrophy) with prolonged use. _Reversing Skin Thinning_ 1. _Stop using Betnovate_: Discontinue use to prevent further skin thinning. 2. _Moisturize_: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to hydrate the skin. 3. _Topical creams_: Apply creams containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide to help restore skin thickness. 4. _Avoid further irritation_: Refrain from scratching or using harsh products on the affected area. 5. _Consult a dermatologist_: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor progress and adjust treatment if necessary.

Hey, I'm 31 and in pretty good health overall, but I've got these pimples and old acne marks on my nose that I'm trying to deal with. I've been taking the Evion 400mg, those green colored capsules, for the past three weeks. Is it okay to keep taking them? I'm just concerned if they could cause any harm to my health. Would love some advice on this!
