I've been dealing with these persistent pimples that start small but get pretty big and filled with pus over about 12 days. The skin underneath gets hard and it really hurts. When I try to squeeze them, a bit of pus and blood comes out. After about a week, they leave behind a black spot but then new ones keep coming up right after the old ones disappear. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my skin. Any idea what this could be?

Based on your description, it sounds like you are experiencing recurrent episodes of acne. To help treat this, you can use a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid to help reduce inflammation and prevent new breakouts. You can try using a brand like "Differin Gel" or "Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Treatment" on the affected areas once daily. Additionally, maintaining a good skincare routine and avoiding picking or squeezing the pimples can also help prevent further breakouts.

View allI've been dealing with pimples on my face and my doctor has put me on some antibacterial meds and aziderm. I'm getting married in 30 days and I'm really worried about the black spots left on my face. My pre-bridal skincare sessions have just kicked off and I'm wondering if it's safe to use aziderm now. Do facials make things worse though? Any advice would be really helpful.
You can continue that cream ni problem it's safe and helpful, regarding facials,it depends on how sensitive your skin is, usually it's safe no issues.

Which shampoo is best for hair growth and thickness?
Shampoo doesnt promote hair growth but it can keep your scalp oil and dirt free and clean. Always choose a mild shampoo and dilute it with water before using it

My hairline has been receding on the left side since around August. It's only been a few months but I'm worried it might get worse. Are there any treatments or medications that can help regrow hair or at least stop the receding? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible.
Try minoxidil or finasteride (under doctor’s advice) to stop hair loss early—non-surgical treatments work better if started early.
