I've been experiencing this really strange itching all over my body, like on my chest, hands, neck, back, and shoulders. The thing is, these marks just show up on my skin like scratch marks, but I swear I didn't scratch myself. It's kind of weird because after some time, they just disappear when the itching stops. I'm starting to get worried about what this could be. Do you have any idea what's going on?

I'm 23 and I've been using Yugard anti-aging cream for a couple of months because a doctor recommended it to me. I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects at my age. Should I be concerned?

Yugard anti-aging cream contains Tretinoin which may cause skin irritation, redness, dryness, and peeling especially when starting its use. It is important to use a sunscreen during the day while using this cream. The recommended dosage for Yugard cream is to apply a pea-sized amount on the affected area at night before bedtime.
