I've been dealing with a corn on my left foot that needed surgery, and though the skin healed, it left a hard spot. I've had another corn since, which cleared up with a corn cap, but now there's some pain where the surgery was. Should I try using a corn cap again?

It sounds like the hard skin on your foot may be due to the formation of another corn. In this case, using a corn cap may not be the best option since it is already causing you pain. I recommend using a salicylic acid-based corn remover solution. Apply it directly to the affected area following the instructions on the package. Additionally, you can use a cushioning pad or insole to relieve pressure on the area and prevent further corn formation. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

View allMy daughter is really struggling with lice and nits, and it's been a nightmare for us. We've tried using Mediker for a whole month now, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I'm really worried and wondering if you could suggest something that works more quickly and provides a permanent solution.

Can using clinmiskin really help? And what about taking isane, either 10 mg or 20 mgare there any side effects I should be worried about, or is it generally considered safe to use?
Clinmiskin contains the antibiotic clindamycin. It is usually prescribed with isotretinoin in the treatment of acne. It is an effective treatment which has generally shown good results. Consult with your Dermatologist before starting any medication and make sure to have regular follow up visits.

I've been dealing with some skin issues after using this hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone furoate cream for my acne and the marks it left behind. Whenever I used it, my skin looked great and glowy, but whenever I stopped and went out in the sun, my face would turn really dark. Now I've been off the cream for 8 months, and my face is in such bad shape. There's a big difference in color between my face and the rest of my body, plus I've got these red marks, dull skin, and lots of pigmentation. It's really frustrating and I'm just not sure what to do at this point. Could you help me out with this?
