I've been dealing with scars for about five years now and recently saw an ad for this scar removal cream called Mederma. I'm 33 and curious if this cream would actually help get rid of my scars. Is it safe to use, or should I be cautious?

Can you tell me if it's okay to take tretino iso 10 mg every other day to help with my sensitive skin? I'm really hoping it will make my skin smoother and reduce pores. Does this sound like the right treatment for me?

Tretino iso 10 mg contains isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne. It can help in reducing acne lesions and improving skin texture. However, it may cause skin dryness and sensitivity, especially in individuals with sensitive skin. Taking it on alternate days as prescribed by your doctor can help minimize side effects while still providing benefits for your skin. It may take some time to see noticeable improvements, but it can help in achieving smoother and poreless skin over time. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and avoid excessive sun exposure while using isotretinoin.

I noticed a light black-brown vertical line on my left thumb today. I don't recall injuring it, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't there before. There's no pain or anything. Could this be something serious?

Likely to be a benign condition known as a splinter hemorrhage. It is usually harmless but can sometimes indicate an underlying medical condition. I recommend monitoring it for any changes in size or color. If you notice any changes or if it persists, you may consider consulting a dermatologist. There is no specific medication for this condition."

I've been struggling with these large red acnes or allergic bumps on my forehead lately. I tried using Castor NF with ofloxacin and terbinafine clobetasol, but they haven't helped at all. The bumps are really painful to touch, and they're not just staying on my foreheadthey're spreading to other parts of my face. I'm starting to feel really frustrated as they seem to be growing more. When I use Castor NF, they shrink a little bit, but not enough to make a difference. What could be going on, and how can I get them to stop spreading?

it seems like acne vulgaris which is aggressive, no need to worry visit yuour dermatologist for appropriate approach,consume balanced diet and more fruits for a better result,personal hygiene is important.
