I've been using Betnovate N cream on and off for about 10 years, and now I've got these dark spots on my cheeks near my nose. I'm seeing a dermatologist who told me to use Azelaic acid cream 20 at night for just 30 minutes and Dermadew Glow cream during the day. It's almost been a month and I don't really see any improvement. I'm really stressed about these spots. What do you think about this treatment?

I've been struggling with Hives for about two years now, and the itching and skin inflammation are just unbearable sometimes. My doctor suggested I take Montek LC, and I usually take a tablet every couple of days when things get really bad. Is there any way to completely get rid of this condition? I'm hoping for a more permanent solution. Can you share any advice or treatments that might help?

I've been dealing with this ailawart on my arm for a while now, and it just won't go away. I'm starting to notice more of them popping up on my face too. Any idea on how I can get rid of these?

Warts are caused by a viral infection in the skin. For treating warts, you can use over-the-counter medications containing Salicylic Acid, such as Compound W or Dr. Scholl's Clear Away. Apply the medication directly to the wart daily. Additionally, you can try cryotherapy with products like Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away Wart Remover. If the warts do not improve with over-the-counter treatments, you may need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
