I've been using Momate as my doctor advised, but I stopped about a week ago. Since then, I noticed a few pimples popping up, which seemed normal at first. But today, I woke up with a bunch more on my face and neck. I'm really not sure whats going on. Can you help figure out what's happening and what I should do about it?

At first, I thought it was just a nutrient thing, but now I've started seeing another thin line on my ring finger. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing it, and how can I get it treated?

Could you tell me how I should be using glycolic acid 612 cream? I'm wondering if it's safe or okay to use this cream indefinitely.
Glycolic acid 6-12% cream is used to treat various skin concerns like acne, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin tone; it should be used under dermatological guidance, starting with lower concentrations (6%) and gradually increasing as your skin becomes more tolerant; while it can be used long-term, it's essential to follow a consistent skincare routine, use sunscreen daily, and have regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor skin health and adjust the treatment plan as needed, with some studies suggesting that long-term use (over 6-12 months) can lead to sustained improvements in skin texture and appearance.
