I'm really worried about these sebaceous cysts I've noticed. Are they something serious that I should be concerned about? I'd love to know what exactly causes them and if there's a way to actually treat or cure them. Any insight would be super helpful!

Sebaceous cysts are typically curable and not a serious problem, caused by blockage of sebaceous glands, genetics, trauma, or infection; treatment options include antibiotics for infected cysts, drainage or surgical excision for large or persistent cysts, and home remedies like warm compresses or tea tree oil for small, uninfected cysts,

View allI'm really curious about how glycolic acid cream works, especially if I'm already using benzoyl peroxide 2.5% for my acne. My skin is pretty sensitive, so I'm worried about potential reactions. What's the best way to use these products together to avoid irritating my skin? Any tips would be super helpful!
Glycolic acid cream works by exfoliating the skin, unclogging pores, and promoting skin cell turnover, which can help improve acne. When used in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, it can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment by further exfoliating the skin and reducing inflammation. For sensitive skin, it is important to start with a lower concentration of glycolic acid (around 5-8%) and gradually increase the frequency of use as tolerated. It is recommended to apply a small amount of glycolic acid cream to clean, dry skin once every other day initially, and then increase to daily use if there is no irritation. Always follow up with a moisturizer and use a sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid, as it can increase sun sensitivity.

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I'm dealing with some pimples on my face. I've been thinking about taking DOXOL LB pills regularly, but I'm not sure if it's safe. Could you advise me on that? Also, I have a really oily face and I'm looking for a good acne scar removal cream or medication. Is laser treatment a safe option for getting rid of acne scars? I'd really appreciate your help!
Consult your regular Dermatologist for proper frequency and dosing of your DOXOL - LB tablets. For oily face, you can use a face wash containing Salicylic acid twice daily to control oil production. Laser treatment for acne scars can be safe and effective, but it is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific condition.

I've been using NilacA gel for three days and I'm noticing that my face looks kind of whitish now. Is this normal? I started using it for my pimples and I'm not sure if I should be worried about this change in skin color. Can you help me understand what's happening and if I should continue using it or stop?
The whitening of the face could be a side effect of using Nilac-A gel. It is important to discontinue the gel and consult a dermatologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to help with any irritation.
