I've been dealing with rashes on my inner thighs and used quadriderm cream for it. I also washed the area with Dettol. The itching and rashes seemed to go away for a bit, but now I've noticed black marks and the rashes are spreading again. What should I do to stop this from worsening?

I'm really curious about treating these little bumps on my lips called Fordyce granules. I've heard that tretinoin gel 0.025 might help, but I'm not sure if it's effective for this. Are there better options I should consider? I'm just looking for something that actually works.

Tretinoin gel 0.025 can be beneficial in reducing Fordyce granules on the lips to some extent. Fordyce granules are small, yellowish or white bumps on the lips caused by the abnormal presence of sebaceous glands. _Benefits of Tretinoin Gel 0.025_ 1. _Exfoliates skin_: Tretinoin helps remove dead skin cells, which can aid in reducing the appearance of Fordyce granules. 2. _Unclogs pores_: Tretinoin can help unclog pores, reducing the size and visibility of Fordyce granules. _Alternative Treatments_ If Tretinoin gel 0.025 is not effective or suitable for you, consider the following alternatives: 1. _Isotretinoin_: A stronger retinoid that can be more effective in reducing Fordyce granules. 2. _Microdermabrasion_: A non-invasive exfoliating treatment that can help reduce the appearance of Fordyce granules. 3. _Laser treatment_: Ablative or non-ablative laser treatments can help reduce the size and visibility of Fordyce granules. 4. _Chemical peels_: A solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers and help reduce the appearance of Fordyce granules.

I've been noticing that every time I put oil on my hair, I end up with a headache and this heavy feeling in my head. I'm starting to wonder if I should just stop using oil altogether. Do you have any idea why this is happening or any suggestions on what I should do?

I've got some trouble with acne on my nose and I'm noticing dark spots on my face, especially where I previously had acne. It's been a bit worrying as these dark spots are sticking around after the acne has cleared up. I also see the same issue with dark spots and acne on my nose. What can I do to get rid of these dark spots? Any advice would be really helpful!

Usually acne scars would fade with time, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
