I've been dealing with a pigmentation issue and visited a dermatologist for help. They suggested I use Melapik Ever cream on my face at night. But when I woke up, my face felt itchy and had a burning sensation. After using it for a couple more days, my skin became incredibly dry, and a whitish layer appeared all over. Plus, my skin seems darker than it was before. I told the doctor about these reactions, and they advised me to stop using the cream. Is this a normal reaction? What should I do next to get my skin back to normal?

I'm experiencing some discomfort and pain when I touch the lower right side of my rib bones, and it's been going on for almost 12 days now. On top of that, I've also been having some nosebleeds. I've been taking TretinIso 20 capsules for about 7 months to deal with acne on my face, as my doctor suggested. I'm really worriedcould these capsules be causing the pain in my ribs or the nosebleeds? What do you think is going on?

Yes. Stop the medicine for time being. Do you have Acidity or constipation problems ? What are your vitamin D levels ? Any cough or congestion?

I've had Fox Fordyce for 8 years and it's been hell with the constant itching only corticosteroid creams give me relief. Would surgically removing all my armpit sweat glands cure this condition? I'm desperate for a permanent solution since creams just manage symptoms.
