I've been noticing some white streaks on the sides of my face, right on the cheekbones. They're not really spots or patches, but they definitely look fairer compared to the rest of my skin. Any idea what might be causing this?

The white streaks on your cheekbones could be due to several reasons, including hypopigmentation, vitiligo, pityriasis alba, or idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis; so consult dermatologist

View allI've been wondering if it's safe to use zydip c cream on my face. I'm hoping it might help brighten my skin, make it less oily, and maybe even get rid of those pesky black dots. Do you think that's possible, or could there be any side effects I should worry about?
While Zydip C cream may help with acne and inflammation, it's not ideal for brightening, oil control, or removing black dots on the face due to potential risks like skin thinning, dependence, and antibiotic resistance.

I've been using Betnovate-N cream for about 10 years, usually applying it at night in a thick layer. I stopped using it two months ago, and now I'm dealing with redness, itching, dry skin, and small blisters on my face. I've tried using aloe vera, glycerin, and a Cetaphil cleanser, but I'm still experiencing these issues along with pimples. Do you have any suggestions or remedies to help me get rid of these side effects? I'm really worried about my skin.

I'm 17 and still don't have a full beard or mustache. Could there be something wrong with me? Is there a way I can speed up the growth? I have a few hairs on my chin but not across my entire face. What can I do to help it along?
Delayed facial hair growth at 17 can be due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, or nutritional deficiencies; to promote growth, ensure adequate sleep, exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet rich in protein, biotin, and vitamins D and B, consider supplements like biotin or fish oil, and consult a dermatologist
