I've been dealing with skin acne all over my back and hands, and it's been really frustrating. I went for a checkup and was given Kevon stay-on lotion to try, but I haven't seen any improvement. Any idea why it's not working, or is there something else I should do?

You are suffering from what Dermatologist call tropical acne. In this condition, pimples erupt on the back and shoulder area which then subside after few days with pigmentation. The treatment is not very complicated. It can be treated with tablets, creams, and soap. Maintenance treatment may be required to cover for recurrence. Please don't apply oil on your head.

I'm thinking about getting a mole on the tip of my nose removed using the punch biopsy method. I'm curious about how long the healing process might take and if a scar will be left behind after the biopsy. I've even attached a picture of the mole. Can you provide some insight?
Punch biopsy is a common method used to remove moles for further examination. The healing time after a punch biopsy can vary, but typically it takes about 1 to 2 weeks for the area to heal completely. During this time, it is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. As for scarring, it is possible to have a small scar after a punch biopsy, especially on the nose where the skin is delicate. However, the scar usually fades over time and becomes less noticeable. To help with scar healing, you can apply topical creams containing silicone or vitamin E. For the removal of the mole on the tip of your nose by punch biopsy, I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can assess the mole and perform the procedure accurately.
