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'm dealing with sudden acne after applying fudic cream on my face. It was prescribed for a skin allergy related to hair follicles. Do you think this breakout could be because of the new VLCC facial kit I used, or is it more likely from the fudic cream? I'm really puzzled and could use your insight.

Sudden acne can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to address another skin concern. Possible Causes of Acne 1. Fudic cream: As you mentioned, the cream itself could be causing acne, especially if you're sensitive to any of its ingredients. 2. VLCC facial kit: New skincare products can cause acne, especially if they contain comedogenic ingredients that clog pores. 3. Skin purging: When introducing new skincare products, your skin may go through a "purge" phase, where it pushes out underlying impurities, leading to temporary acne. 4. Hair follicle allergy: The underlying skin allergy related to hair follicles could be contributing to the acne. Recommended Next Steps 1. Stop using the VLCC facial kit: Discontinue use to see if the acne improves.

I've just noticed these strange red lines on my left thumb, index finger, and ring finger. They seem to appear in pairs of two. I'm 20, and this happened right after I did a 30-minute mini trampoline workout. Could the workout have something to do with it? Should I be concerned about these marks? What could this be?
