Question 1

So I've been dealing with these pimple-like small bumps on my nose for about 4 years now and they're not like regular pimples since they don't hurt and never seem to disappear. Sometimes I get other pimples on my cheeks and nose but those usually clear up within a month or so. These other bumps are a different story - they're skin-colored, small, and seem more like cysts because they just won't go away no matter what facewash or scrub I try. My skin is pretty clear otherwise, but these tiny bumps are really bothering me. How can I get rid of them?

Accepted Answer

To help reduce the appearance of these bumps, you can try using a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel, applying a thin layer to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a salicylic acid cleanser, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, can help to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Remember to moisturize your skin regularly and use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If these bumps persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.

Question 2

Question 3

I've been using HH Lite cream at night, and it's really helped clear up my acne quite a bit. But Ive noticed my face tends to stay red a lot now. Also, whenever I have a night out with alcohol, I seem to break out with acne the next day. I tried taking an LCZ tablet for what I think might be an allergy, and it seems to help, but only to a certain extent. I'm curious about whether there are any side effects from this mix of treatments. Is there an alternative to HH Lite that might not cause redness or react with alcohol?

Accepted Answer

HH Lite cream and LCZ tablet usage may have side effects:

HH Lite Cream:

1. Redness (as you've experienced)
2. Dryness
3. Itching
4. Burning sensation

LCZ Tablet:

1. Drowsiness
2. Dizziness
3. Stomach upset
4. Allergic reactions

Alcohol consumption can exacerbate acne due to:

1. Dehydration
2. Inflammation
3. Hormonal imbalances

Substitutes for HH Lite cream that may minimize redness:

1. Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
2. Neutrogena Hydrating Facial Moisturizer
3. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Fluid

To address alcohol-related acne:

1. Stay hydrated
2. Use a gentle cleanser
3. Apply a soothing moisturizer
4. Consider a probiotic supplement

Consult a dermatologist to discuss your specific concerns and develop a personalized skincare plan.

I've been on Sotret 20 mg for a month now, and I've just been diagnosed with thyroid issues. Do you think it's okay if I take Sotret at night and Thyronorm in the morning? I'm a bit worried about how these medications might interact.

There is no interaction between those two drugs,you continue them as your doctor advised.
