I'm really worried because I'm about to get married on April 24th, and I just found out I might have a sebaceous cyst. The doctor I visited gave me some meds for a few days and said we can see how it goes. But if it doesn't improve, he mentioned maybe needing a scan. I'm kind of stressed about this, and I'm wondering if there's any way to speed things up, like with some kind of needle procedure or something to take care of it fast? Any advice would be super helpful!

I'm really worried about my hand. The back of my palm has turned black, and it's super dry. I've been using olive oil for the past four days, hoping it'll help, but I'm not sure if it's working. I've also been using hand sanitizer and Dettol hand wash a lot. Could that be affecting my skin? Is this why my hand looks like this? I've got some photos of it too.

Yes you can use it no problem, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment

I've been dealing with confluent reticulated papillomatosis for about a year now, and the dermatologist I saw gave me a steroid cream. It works for a bit, but then the condition just comes back. It's pretty embarrassing, and I'm really anxious about going out because of it. Is there any permanent treatment for this condition?
