I've been struggling with really bad acne on my face, shoulders, and back for nearly a decade now. A doctor recently told me to take Azithromycin 250 tablets and use BETNOVATEN with Betamethasone and Neomycin, but I haven't noticed any changes. Could you please suggest what I should do next or if there's anything else I should try?

I've been dealing with this pus-filled scar that turned into a keloid about a year ago. Its really painful, and Ive seen multiple doctors, but nothing seems to work. I came across some info about injection shots for this kind of thing. Do you offer those treatments? And are there any side effects I should know about?

Why did my skin get worse after I stopped using Sabi glow and started the sunscreen and moisturizer like the doctor said? My forehead turned really black in just two weeks, and Im wondering why it happened. Now I'm using lumacip plus and kojivit cream, and it's getting better. Is my doctor using trial and error with my skin, and how long will it take for my skin to improve? I've been trying different treatments for more than 4 years now, and I'm concerned.
