I've been getting pimples every month of my menstrual cycle, and it's always on the right cheek, on the same spot. It's really frustrating because it's left huge marks on my skin. My doctor suggested I take Microbact 500 mg three times a week, use Clarion face wash, apply Glocin gel in the morning all over my face, and Sagium gel at night. But even after three weeks of sticking to this treatment, new pimples keep popping up, and it feels like they're even worse now. What should I do?

Despite treatment, persistent pimples on your right cheek, coinciding with your menstrual cycle, may indicate hormonal acne; consider discussing the following with your doctor: adjusting medication dosage or frequency, adding hormonal treatments like birth control pills or spironolactone, and incorporating spot treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to target individual pimples; also, maintain good skincare habits, including gentle exfoliation and sun protection.

I'm dealing with excess body heat all year round, and it's really affecting my skinit gets super dry and darker. I'm already drinking a lot of water, but nothing seems to help. Do you have any simple home remedies or advice for this? I'm really curious about how I can manage this better.

To reduce excess body heat and alleviate dry, dark skin, try these home remedies: drink cooling drinks like coconut water, cucumber juice, or peppermint tea; eat cooling foods like yogurt, cucumber, and mint; apply cooling packs or cold compresses to your pulse points; practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga; wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing; take cool showers or baths; and consider incorporating Ayurvedic herbs like triphala, neem, or aloe vera into your routine, in addition to drinking plenty of water.

I'm wondering about how to use the Himalayan neem face pack properly. Should I put it on a wet face or a dry one? And when I apply it, do I need to use water or can I just put it on directly?

Apply the Himalayan Neem Face Pack on a clean, dry face. Mix the face pack with a small amount of water to form a smooth paste.

I'm dealing with a lipoma situation and there's all these little fatty lumps on my hands and lower back, plus a bunch scattered around my body. Kind of freaking me out a bit. Is there any sort of ayurvedic treatment that could help with this? Would love some guidance here.

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
