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.

View allI've noticed a dark red line and a spot on my nose over the past few days, and it's just getting darker. Honestly, it's starting to look pretty bad. Could you give me some advice on how to get rid of it?
This could be a sign of a skin condition or infection. I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Neosporin on the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can apply a small amount of hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid picking at it. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

My upper lip has gotten thicker and I'm not happy with how it looks. I really don't want to go for surgery are there any home remedies or natural ways to make it thinner? What can I try at home to reduce the thickness?
Try cold compresses, turmeric, and facial massages for thick lips. If no change, consult a dermatologist. Surgery is a last resort.

I'm dealing with Androgenic Alopecia and in the past, I've seen good results with Minoxidil and Finasteride. However, after my daughter was born, I stopped using them for about two years and now I've lost my hair again. I'm considering starting Minoxidil lotion again, but I'm worried. If my daughter shares my pillow, could it have any negative effects on her skin or hair? I really don't want to cause her any problems.
try using separate pillows from now and use minoxidil 30min before bed
