I've been having some issues with my skin ever since I got over chickenpox. Now my face is breaking out with acne and pimples everywhere. They're kinda mild, not super aggressive, but I never had any before. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing post-chickenpox acne. To help with this, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Differin (adapalene) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can use a benzoyl peroxide wash like PanOxyl (benzoyl peroxide) to cleanse your face once or twice daily. Make sure to moisturize with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness. If these over-the-counter treatments do not improve your acne, you may need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and prescription medications.

View allI'm dealing with a lot of acne after getting my face threaded, and my doctor put me on Minoz OD and Avene Triacneal cream for 10 days. The thing is, my acne's actually getting worse, and the scars look more noticeable. I thought the cream would make it peel, but it's just drying it out, and I'm not seeing any peeling even after 10 days. I'm wondering how long I'm supposed to keep using this stuff before I see any results? Why am I ending up with new pimples every day? Could it be the treatment or just a coincidence? Ive never had this many pimples on my face before. What should I do? Any insights on how long it usually takes for acne to fade with these treatments?

I'm 16 and have been masturbating about three times a day. I've been wondering if this is normal or if there might be any mental or physical side effects from doing it so often. Could this be affecting my health in any way?
Masturbation leads to low energy levels, fatigue and lethargy. Masturbation is almost always associated with porn addiction, which over extended periods of time can cause effects like depression, impotence and loss of focus.

I'm worried about my husband's skin rash that started after taking imol a few months back. Now hes been on injections and enzocart tablets because of it. He also keeps getting these headaches. I'm not sure what medicine is safe for him to take now, but I've heard about Dolo 650 already. Is something like dart okay for his headaches?
Dolo 650 contains paracetamol and so does dart. If he gets frequent headaches then instead of taking self medication and landing in trouble ask him to get it checked out by a neurophysician in person for further evaluation and management. .he will be able to help you further.
