I've been using Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer at night for my face, but after just two days, I had to stop because I'm experiencing itching and a burning sensation, and I'm even noticing new wrinkles in areas that used to be smooth, and it's been three days since I stopped. I picked this up thinking it was mild, since it's a store-bought product with "moisturizer" in the name, and I assumed it had minimal retinol. What should I do about this?

View allI'm really concerned about my wife's skin. Before we got married, she had such clear skin, but just a month after the wedding, she started breaking out with acne. It's gotten so bad that it's really affecting her mood, making her feel depressed. We've already seen a couple of dermatologists, but nothing seems to help. We even went to a gynecologist, and they mentioned it might be due to hormonal imbalance. We're feeling pretty lost right now. Any advice on what we could do next?
The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated

I'm really worried and could use some advice. A while back, I used this ointment called Lobate GM on my face when I had just a few pimples. I went through 2 or 3 tubes of it, hoping it would help, but my skin got way worse. I ended up seeing a dermatologist and did a treatment for six months. Now, I've still got these red marks where the pimples were and I'm not sure what to do about them. Could you give me some guidance on what might help fade these marks?
It sounds like you may be dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from the acne. To help lighten the red marks left by the pimples, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with high SPF during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. Make sure to follow up with your skin specialist for further guidance and monitoring of your progress.

I've had these stitch marks on my hand for about three years now, and it's starting to bother me because everyone notices them and asks about it. Is there a way to get rid of them?
Stitch marks can be treated with the help of topical creams containing silicone gel, such as Mederma. You can apply a thin layer of Mederma on the stitch marks twice a day for several months to see improvement. Additionally, you can also consider laser therapy or microdermabrasion treatments to further reduce the appearance of the scar.
