I'm really worried because I got these cortisone injections on my face, even though it wasn't for cystic acne. The dermatologist injected on some pimples and some other areas, and now Im starting to notice some discoloration and mild atrophy. I'm really concerned it might get worse. I usually use a toner with lactic acid and citric acidis it okay to keep using it, or should I avoid certain products? Will my skin eventually get better? It just feels like my condition wasn't treated properly, and I'm anxious about what's happening.

I recommend reducing exfoliation and switching to more gentle, hydrating products while you wait for your skin to heal. If the issues persist or worsen, dont hesitate to follow up with your dermatologist for further advice.

I've got these small itchy bumps in my pubic area that keep spreading and look really bad. They don't cause major issues besides the itching, but I'm worried about how they're multiplying. Could you recommend any creams or meds to make them fade or go away? I'd prefer not to do surgery right now.
Itchy, spreading bumps in the pubic area could be due to various reasons, ranging from simple skin irritations to infections. While you can try some over-the-counter treatments, it's best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if the bumps are spreading or cause significant discomfort.

I'm really considering getting my hair straightened, but I'm worried about any potential damage it might cause. Does it lead to hair loss or affect hair growth? Can you shed some light on this?
Chemical treatments like hair straightening and hair smoothening can indeed cause damage to the hair if not done properly or if the hair is not cared for adequately post-treatment. These treatments involve using chemicals that can weaken the hair shaft and make it more prone to breakage. To minimize damage, it is important to use a good quality heat protectant spray before using any heat styling tools and to regularly deep condition your hair. To prevent hair fall or stunted hair growth, you can consider using hair care products that promote hair strength and growth. I recommend using a shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for damaged hair, along with a hair serum containing ingredients like biotin and keratin to help strengthen the hair follicles. If you still want to go ahead with hair straightening, I suggest using a reputable salon and opting for a treatment that uses quality products. Additionally, consider getting regular trims to prevent split ends and breakage.
