I've been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but after a week, I started to notice some redness. Now, the redness has gone down, but there's still this dark area around my mouth. Could this be hyperpigmentation from the gel, or might it be caused by something else?

I've noticed that my forehead is a lot darker than the rest of my face, and it's been like this for almost two years now. I initially thought it was just a tan and have tried all sorts of things, like getting regular facials and home remedies, but nothing seems to be working. Any advice on how I can fix this?

I've been on Sotret 20 mg for a month now, and I've just been diagnosed with thyroid issues. Do you think it's okay if I take Sotret at night and Thyronorm in the morning? I'm a bit worried about how these medications might interact.

There is no interaction between those two drugs,you continue them as your doctor advised.
