I've been using HH Lite cream at night, and it's really helped clear up my acne quite a bit. But Ive noticed my face tends to stay red a lot now. Also, whenever I have a night out with alcohol, I seem to break out with acne the next day. I tried taking an LCZ tablet for what I think might be an allergy, and it seems to help, but only to a certain extent. I'm curious about whether there are any side effects from this mix of treatments. Is there an alternative to HH Lite that might not cause redness or react with alcohol?

I'm 11 and I've had chicken pox, and since then I've noticed some moles on my face that just won't go away. Also, I've been dealing with acne, mostly on my forehead and chin. Could you give me some advice on how to get rid of these moles and what to do about the acne issue?

There is no relation between chicken pox and moles. Acne is a common problem in your age group. Do not pop out your acne as they will leave scars. Avoid using hair oil as this can aggravate your acne on forehead.

I'm really worried because I found this circular indentation on my chest, and now I have these reddish spots on my skin. There's a bit of pain, and I'm also having trouble breathing and swallowing properly. It's starting to freak me out. What could this be, and should I be really concerned about it?

if you had any injury recently in that area , get a chest xray done and proceed
