I've been dealing with whiteheads on my nose, and I've made a habit of picking at them. Recently, though, the skin on my nose started peeling, and now it's looking darker compared to the surrounding areas, plus there's this horizontal dark line running across it. I'm worried and wondering: will my skin eventually recover from this on its own? Should I be doing something different to help it heal?

Hey, can you tell me how long I should be using Kojivit Ultra Gel? Is this something I'm supposed to use for my whole life, or is it just for a certain period? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate some guidance on this.

Kojivit Ultra gel is typically used for a duration of 2-4 months to see visible results in skin lightening and pigmentation reduction. However, it is not meant for lifelong use. It is recommended to use it as per the guidance of your dermatologist and then take a break from the treatment to assess the results. If needed, your doctor may suggest a maintenance regimen or alternative treatments for long-term management.

I've got this cut or rash on my testicles from playing outside in the heat, and I'm wondering if it's okay to use clindamycin and adapalene gel on it since I know they're antibiotics. Is this the right thing to use, or should I try something else?
