I'm worried about using sunscreen because I have acne scars and large pores. Plus, my skin is really sensitive and Im quite fair-skinned. Is there a sunscreen that's gentle enough and won't make my acne worse or cause any other side effects? Any advice would be appreciated!

I've been having some trouble since I got a facial and waxing done. My face has these really bad patches now, and the left cheek feels super tight. I'm starting to think it might be a chemical burn. I tried using ice since last night, but it hasn't really made a difference. Could you let me know what else I should do?

avoid scratching the affected area and u can put eyes no problem with that.usuallly its self limiting, if it continues or becoming worse visit Dermatologist as soon as possible for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been dealing with hair thinning for about 10 months now. My hair used to be super thick, dense, and even wavy at 11 inches long. It started thinning at the whorl and spread in a whirpool direction across the top, front, and the sides. In the last 3 months, I've noticed noticeable thinning at my crown and the back of my head too. I did get a buzz cut 5 months ago, and my temples have receded just a bit, maybe a centimeter. My scalp was super dry and tight a while ago but that seems to be back to normal now. I've always had dandruff, those small white flakes, mostly during the winters. Looking at my family history, both grandfathers had no hair loss until the end. My dads at a Norwood 2, two uncles are bald, probably due to diabetes, and one has a full head of hair. On my moms side, two uncles are bald and two have no hair loss. I'm concerned because I've lost a lot of hair density in these 10 months, it's probably half what I had before. Any advice on whats happening or what I should do? I've got some photos attached if that helps.

this looks like androgenic alopecia which is male pattern baldness,there are good treatment modalities which would help in preventing further hairfall and regrowth of your hair,visit your dermatologist for appropriate management,above this consume balanced diet with extra protien which would help in giving strength to your hair.

I've been on 30 mg of Accutane for about seven months now and my skin is definitely breaking out less, but I've started getting these painful bumps under my skin that are filled with a clear fluid, kinda like water. They seem to keep popping up on my forehead and chin. Just when one goes away, another one shows up somewhere else. Why is this happening and what can I do to get rid of them?

That could be acne vulgaris,visit Dermatologist for appropriate managemnet
