  4. Retinoid creams: Derivatives of vitamin A, promote cell turnover, collagen production, and skin elasticity.

Skin Care Routine

  1. Cleansing: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser suitable for your skin type.
  2. Toning: Apply a toner to balance your skin's pH and remove residual impurities.
  3. Moisturizing: Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to hydrate your skin.
  4. Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.

Additional Tips

  1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
  2. Eat a balanced diet: Focus on whole foods rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
  3. Exercise regularly: Engage in moderate physical activity to improve circulation

I've been experiencing this weird thing at night where my skin gets really itchy, and then these skin-colored boils pop up. The odd thing is, they usually vanish by the next morning. At first, this was only happening on a small area of my leg, but now its like, all over my legs and even my arms. Should I be worried about this spreading further, and is there something specific I should do?
