I've been dealing with acne vulgaris on both my cheeks for a few months now, and after following my dermatologist's advice, the acne's finally under control. But now I'm left with these scars on my cheeks. Could you suggest a treatment or maybe some options to help get rid of these scars?

To help reduce the appearance of acne scars on your cheeks, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream 0.025% to the affected areas once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can also consider using a Vitamin C serum to help brighten and even out your skin tone. Apply a few drops of Vitamin C serum in the morning before applying sunscreen. For more severe acne scars, you may benefit from treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion. These procedures can be done by a dermatologist to help improve the texture of your skin and reduce the appearance of scars. Remember to always wear sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further damage and to prevent the scars from worsening.

View allI'm dealing with itching around my pubic hair area that's been going on for two weeks now. It's becoming more persistent and I'm noticing my skin is getting dry there too. There's no doctor nearby and I'm not sure what steps to take. Could you advise me on what I should do?
To alleviate itching and dry skin in the pubic hair area, try applying over-the-counter antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole, calamine lotion, or aloe vera gel, and maintain good hygiene, drying thoroughly after bathing, while seeking medical attention from dermatologist as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been having this issue where my lips turn white when they get wet. It's been happening for about four months now. Every week, my lips peel off completely, and two days after the peeling, a white line forms between them. I've already seen a physician who gave me zevitlycored and meganeuron od plus tablets, but they didn't help. Then, I went to a dermatologist who recommended cinort gel and tacros cream. Those also didn't work, only giving me temporary relief. I even had a blood test done, and everything came back normal. I'm worried and unsure what to do next. Can you help?
this looks like cheilitis which is due to vitamin deficiency , consume balanced diet and more green leafy vegetables,and also stay hydrated, never scratch or try to peel it off.
