I've been using Betnovate cream for the last few months, maybe around 2 to 3 months, and when I stopped, I had a really bad breakout. Plus, I noticed my facial hair has increased a lot. What should I do?

I've been noticing a black line across my cuticle on my thumb, and it's been worrying me a bit. The skin behind it seems slightly inflamed, but the line doesn't go the entire length of the cuticlejust about halfway across the more horizontal part. It's really thin, less than a millimeter. Should I be concerned about this? Does it sound like something I need to get checked out?

I'm dealing with unwanted facial hair and really want to try some permanent hair removal options. However, I'm an SLE patient and currently on medication. I'm worried about whether having American Electrolysis treatment could cause any issues for me. Are there better hair removal methods out there that would be safer given my condition?

American Electrolysis treatment for hair removal may not be the best option for you as an SLE patient, especially if you are under medication. The process involves inserting a fine needle into each hair follicle and applying an electrical current to destroy the hair follicle. This can potentially cause skin irritation, scarring, and other complications, which may be more risky for individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Instead, you may consider laser hair removal as a safer alternative. Laser hair removal targets the hair follicles with concentrated light, destroying the hair without causing damage to the surrounding skin. It is a non-invasive procedure that may be more suitable for individuals with SLE. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before undergoing any hair removal treatment to ensure it is safe for you considering your medical condition and medications.
