I've been using hydroquinone cream for about a year, but over the last four months, I've noticed I'm getting a lot of pimples and my skin is becoming darker. I'm really hoping to get clear, glowing skin. Any tips on how I can achieve this?

I'm struggling with acne and dark spots on my face. Over the years, I've tried many medicines, but they only seem to help as long as I'm taking them. Once I finish the course, after a month or so, the same issues pop back up. Back in 2012, my doctor prescribed some medicines, and then again in 2013, I was recommended Zeethrom 500 mg, Saslic face wash, Resoten 20 mg, and Calene gel. By 2014, the prescription included Resoten 20 mg and Nioclean gel. I've been using these treatments for about three years, but I stopped taking any medicine over the past two years. Could you suggest what I should do next? Should I consider continuing with medicine or try another treatment option?

I've been using Melas cream for over a month, but I recently stopped because my skin keeps peeling. I'm really worried about how to get my skin back to normal. Do you have any recommendation on which cream might help with the recovery?

After stopping the use of Melas, it is important to allow your skin to recover. You can use a gentle moisturizing cream containing ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid to help soothe and hydrate your skin. Additionally, you can use a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Make sure to apply these creams as directed by the manufacturer or your healthcare provider. It is also important to protect your skin from further damage by avoiding sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

I've got this boil on my scrotum, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you recommend any medicine or treatment for this? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any pain or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the boil does not improve or gets worse, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
