Question

I've been noticing these small lumps on my cheekbone, right under my eye. They tend to swell up by themselves and then the swelling goes down after a few days, but then they come back after about a month. It's like a recurring cycle and I'm starting to get scars from them. Should I be worried about these lumps? What could be causing this?

Question

I'm a bit unsure about something regarding my daughter's skincare routine. You mentioned on Saturday that she should use Dermadew cream or Fairlite in the morning. But she was also told to use Clindac gel for her pimples in the morning. Should she still keep using the gel, or is it just one of the creams now? How should we be using these together?

Question

I've been using Clindac A face wash for my grade 1 acne for almost 3 months now, but I'm still getting some breakouts. I'm supposed to finish this treatment by November 5th. Should I keep using it, or is it time to try something new? And if I should switch, do you have any recommendations for a good face wash that could help?

Question

I've been using Skin Shine cream on and off for about three months, and a few days after stopping, I noticed my skin turned pinkish and dry, and it started peeling. Now my face looks darker than before. I went to see a dermatologist, and she recommended I start using Photoban 30, Nilac gel, and Azac cream every day. I'm really worried and just wondering how long it might take before my skin goes back to normal. Any advice would be really appreciated.
