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 allCan I use Indulekha hair oil even though I'm only 16? My hair used to be thick and bouncy, but now it's really thin and seems to be falling out a lot. I'm worried and not sure what to do. Do you think this hair oil would help, or is it not suitable for someone my age?
Yes, you can use Indulekha Hair Oil at the age of 16. It is safe for use in individuals below 18 years of age.

I'm dealing with some really dry skin issues and I've got this visible white spot in a sensitive area. It's painful between my thighs and around my genital area. I'm worried it might be some kind of fungal infection or maybe scabies. Can I use Vaseline petroleum jelly to help with the dryness, or could that make things worse? I'm just not sure what the best thing to do is.
No vaseline jelly is not advised.
