I'm struggling with acne on my face, neck, chest, and back. Should I try using candid b cream for it, or would benzoyl peroxide be a better option? I'm really unsure about which one might be more effective.

I've been experiencing severe hair loss ever since I got married on April 28, 2017. It started just 10 days after the wedding and it's only gotten worse. Now, my hair is less than half of what it was and I can see my scalp. Could you suggest any medication or treatment that might help with this? What could be causing such an intense hair loss so quickly after marriage?

I've got this pimple on my bum, and it's the third one already. The first two were really painful, and no tablets seemed to work on them, but they eventually went away. Now, this one's back, and the pain is awful. It's swelling more and more every day, and I can barely walk. Plus, my anus is hurting too. I've had bleeding twice, and it's painful when I'm sitting or using the bathroom. What should I do?

I'm really worried because I've been using this fairness cream for a month, and now my skin's gotten dull and I've started getting pimples. My skin used to be pretty good before this. Could the cream be damaging my skin? What should I do to fix it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a reaction to the cream you have been using. To help improve your skin condition, I recommend stopping the use of the current cream and switching to a gentle cleanser and a non-comedogenic moisturizer. You can also consider using a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid for the pimples. Additionally, incorporating a vitamin C serum can help brighten your skin. Remember to always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.
