I've been noticing these things on my face that aren't exactly pimples, but they've got this white pus under the skin, kind of scattered everywhere. And if I press on them, the pus just comes out. I'm really puzzled about what's going on with my skin and was wondering if there's anything I can apply or do to help improve its condition?

Could be a sign of a skin condition called milia. To improve your skin quality, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A (tretinoin) to help exfoliate the skin and prevent further buildup of dead skin cells. Additionally, using a gentle exfoliating scrub containing salicylic acid can help unclog pores and improve skin texture. Make sure to follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Remember to start with a small amount of the products to avoid irritation, and gradually increase as tolerated.

View allI've been using this cream for about 2 months now and I've noticed quite a few changes in my skin. It seems to have completely taken care of the tan and any blocked skin on my face, which makes me really happy when I look in the mirror. But I was wondering, could there be any side effects from using this cream continuously?
- using any cream continuously for a long period can sometimes cause irritation or sensitivity. I recommend taking breaks or consulting a dermatologist to ensure it's safe for your skin in the long run.

I've been dealing with a really red and irritated rash along my mustache line, and it's super dry and itchy. Recently, I also noticed a lump on the right side of my jaw, and I can't figure out why it's there. Plus, my acne seems to be getting worse. I've been using moisturizer and washing my face with 10% benzoyl peroxide, but I've avoided using it in the rashy area for months. I first noticed the dryness and flakiness around the start of the year. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

Can you help me out with something? Last year, I got the full anti-rabies vaccine cycle and anti-tetanus shot because of a cat scratch. But last month, I ended up getting two booster shots after a kitten scratched me and I got bitten by a dog. Now, my cat bit me since I accidentally stepped on her tail and my wound started bleeding. Do you think I need another booster shot for this?
Since you had a recent cat bite and your wound bled, it is advisable to take another booster shot for rabies. You can take the Rabipur vaccine with a dosage of 1 mL on day 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Additionally, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management of your wound.
