I've been having this really weird sensation, feeling like a bunch of needles poking out of my skin, and it's getting worse. It mainly happens when I'm out in the Sun or doing something physical, especially in Winter. The only thing that kinda helps is taking off my clothes and getting near something cold or scratching a lot, but that isn't really a solution. It's not just uncomfortable anymore, it's affecting my daily life and work. I also noticed red patches in the areas where this happens. I try bathing with cold water which helps a bit, but I'm worried because this problem is getting out of hand. I'm hoping there's a more permanent fix or at least something that can make it more manageable. Any advice?

I've been dealing with whiteheads on my nose and chin for a while now. My doctor suggested using hhsalic ointment and taking Actilife tablets, but I haven't seen any improvement. Is there something else I could try? I'm really looking for any other treatments or advice that could help.

I'm using Bellissa Lite cream to help with fairness, but I'm seeing results really slowly. I'm considering switching to Ilumax instead. Is Ilumax a steroid, and is it safe for me to use? Also, Bellissa is a bit pricey, so is Ilumax a more cost-effective option?

Continue same treatment.
