I've been struggling with acne on my face and back, and I'm worried about the black marks it leaves behind. I've tried using Adalene Nanogel 15g as my doctor suggested, but it hasn't completely resolved the issue. Can you help me figure out how to get rid of the acne and those spots?

In addition to Adalene Nanogel, you can try using Benzoyl Peroxide gel (2.5%) in the morning and Adapalene gel (0.1%) at night. This combination can help reduce acne breakouts and prevent new ones from forming. For the black marks left by acne, you can use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone (4%) and apply it only on the dark spots at night. Remember to use a sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further darkening. Make sure to follow a gentle skincare routine, avoid picking or squeezing acne lesions, and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to improve your skin condition.

I've been having really itchy palms and feet for the past three days. There aren't any rashes, but whenever I scratch, the skin gets all red. It's starting to worry me a bit. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as dyshidrotic eczema. For relief from itching and redness, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream on the affected areas. Additionally, taking oral antihistamines such as cetirizine can help with itching. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I tried using Salactin paint on my ankle to get rid of some hard skin, but after just a day, the skin turned black and red. It looks like it might be burnt. What should I do to treat this and help it heal?
Salactin paint contains salicylic acid, which can help soften and remove hard skin. However, it can also cause irritation, especially if used incorrectly or on sensitive skin. The black and red discoloration you've described suggests a chemical burn or severe irritation. To promote healing and reduce discomfort, follow these steps: Immediate Care 1. Stop using Salactin paint: Discontinue use immediately to prevent further irritation. 2. Wash the area: Gently wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove any remaining salicylic acid. 3. Apply a topical cream: Use a topical cream or gel containing aloe vera, hydrocortisone (1%), or calamine to help soothe and calm the skin.
