I've been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but my skin's really irritated after applying it. I know the irritation might go away after a few weeks, but now I've got this dark line on one side of my lip that isn't fading. Do you think this will become a permanent black patch or is it likely to disappear on its own?

It's likely a side effect of the deriva bpo gel known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur as a result of skin irritation or inflammation. In most cases, this dark patch should fade over time once you stop using the gel. To help speed up the process, you can try using a topical skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid.

My skin feels super tight and won't bounce back no matter what I try even with lotions or gels. Could this mean I need some kind of medical treatment or surgery? It's really worrying me because nothing seems to help.
If these changes do not bring relief, you may want to see a dermatologist. Very dry skin can require a prescription ointment or cream. Dry skin also can be a sign of a skin condition that needs treatment. A dermatologist can examine your skin and explain what can help reduce your discomfort

I've got this ring work issue on my back and I'm not sure what to do next. I tried taking Itaspor 200, but it's not really helping. Do you have any other suggestions for medication or treatments that might be effective?
For ringworm on the back, consider using topical antifungal creams like Clotrimazole (Candid), Miconazole (Micatin), or Terbinafine (Lamisil),
