I'm really worried about using Colgate Advanced Toothpaste on my pimples. I put it on two spots: one above my lips and one in the center of my forehead. It seemed okay the first two times, but the third time I left it on overnight and woke up with two dark brown scars. I was able to peel most of the scar on my forehead, but now there's an acne and some light pink skin around it. What's going on? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

View allI'm currently seeing a dermatologist near my home for dandruff issues and she has good reviews. She's a female doctor. I also need advice on anal tags after my laser piles surgery and want to get an STD checkup. Can she handle these issues too or should I see another specialist?
A dermatologist can address skin tags and offer STD testing, but a proctologist may be better for post-surgical anal concerns.

I've been on Diane 35 for about six months, but I stopped three months ago. Now my acne is starting to come back. What can I do about this?
Diane 35 is a hormonal contraceptive that's often prescribed to treat acne, especially in women. However, it's not uncommon for acne to return after stopping the medication. Why Acne Returns After Stopping Diane 35 1. Hormonal Fluctuations: Diane 35 regulates hormonal imbalances, which can help control acne. When you stop taking the medication, hormonal fluctuations can lead to acne recurrence. 2. Underlying Skin Issues: Diane 35 may have been masking underlying skin issues, such as clogged pores, bacterial growth, or inflammation. When you stop taking the medication, these underlying issues can resurface, leading to acne.3. Consider Alternative Acne Treatments: Your dermatologist may recommend alternative acne treatments, such as: - Topical retinoids - Benzoyl peroxide - Salicylic acid - Hormonal treatments (if hormonal imbalances are suspected)

I've been dealing with an oily scalp and hair loss and Im a bit worried because I also masturbate every two days. Is there any chance that masturbation could be causing this? Also, is it normal to masturbate every two days or around 3 to 4 times a week? If it's not considered normal, what steps can I take to manage or control my masturbation habits? I'm just trying to understand if there's a connection here or if I should be doing something different.
masturbation does not related with hair growth
