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 got some blade cut marks on my hands that have been there for about 3 months now. I'm really hoping to get rid of these scars but I'm wondering if there's an alternative to laser treatment. Any advice on what else might work?

For older scars like yours, besides laser treatment, you can consider using topical silicone gel sheets or silicone gel. These can help improve the appearance of the scar over time. Make sure to apply them as directed by the manufacturer. Additionally, you can also try using vitamin E oil or creams containing onion extract to help reduce the visibility of the scar. Remember to keep the area well moisturized and protected from the sun to aid in the healing process.
