I'm struggling with acne and dark spots on my face. Over the years, I've tried many medicines, but they only seem to help as long as I'm taking them. Once I finish the course, after a month or so, the same issues pop back up. Back in 2012, my doctor prescribed some medicines, and then again in 2013, I was recommended Zeethrom 500 mg, Saslic face wash, Resoten 20 mg, and Calene gel. By 2014, the prescription included Resoten 20 mg and Nioclean gel. I've been using these treatments for about three years, but I stopped taking any medicine over the past two years. Could you suggest what I should do next? Should I consider continuing with medicine or try another treatment option?

I'm thinking about cutting my hair short, but I'm worried it might change the natural color or somehow make it darker. Is there any truth to this idea, or is it just a myth? My aunt once said her hair got darker after she cut it, but I'm unsure if that would happen to me too since I've never done it before. What do you think?

Thats not true you can have hairstyle of your choice no problem

I'm curious about the difference between the gel and solution forms of this chemical. Is it true that doctors use the solution for peeling? I'm wondering if its stronger or more effective than the gel. Could you shed some light on this?

Gel is considered better than a solution.
