I've been using benzoyl peroxide 2.5 for my acne. Do you think I should also be taking tretiva 10mg with it, or is benzoyl peroxide enough on its own to help clear up my skin? I'm just trying to figure out the best approach to treat my acne.

I'm really curious about something. I've been using Fair and Lovely cream for the past six months, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, I'm a bit worried that if I stop using it, my face might get darker again. Is that something I should expect?

Fair and Lovely cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, which can cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin with long-term use. It is not recommended to use hydroquinone-containing products for extended periods of time without medical supervision. If you stop using the cream, your skin may revert back to its original condition, but it is important to transition to a different skincare routine to maintain the results. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on alternative skincare products.

I'm noticing these weird rashes popping up on my chest and back. They have a round shape and seem scaly in the middle. There's a bit of a reddish tint, and my skin is actually peeling from these spots. I'm really worried about what kind of infection this might be. Could you tell me more about it and suggest any medications I should consider?
