I've been getting these little spots on my cheeks from pimples, and I'm not sure what the best ointment is to make them go away quickly. Also, I'm dealing with some whiteheads and would love to know if there's a good solution for both. Any advice?

For both pimple spots and whiteheads, using a combination of exfoliating acids (like salicylic acid or glycolic acid), anti-inflammatory ingredients (like niacinamide), and treatments for acne (like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide) can help significantly improve your skin over time. Always make sure to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent worsening of dark spots.

View allI'm really worried about my mom because she's got these dark blue vein patches showing up on her thighs, and shes complaining of a bit of pain there. Could this be something serious? What could it possibly be?
The dark blue blood veins patches on your mother's thighs, accompanied by mild pain, could be indicative of varicose veins or spider veins, which are common conditions characterized by enlarged, twisted veins. These veins can become visible due to weakened valves, allowing blood to pool and cause discoloration. Other possible causes include hormonal changes, pregnancy, obesity, and age-related factors. It's essential to consult a general surgeon

I've been taking doxycycline 100mg once a day for my acne, and I'm really curious if this could lead to any hair loss. Should I be concerned about this side effect?
Using doxycyclin to treat acne is generally safe for most people, but you should be aware of potential side effects like gastrointestinal issues, photosensitivity, and yeast infections. Make sure to follow your dermatologists instructions carefully and hairfall is less likely
