I've been using a skin lightening cream on my face, but I've noticed my face is breaking out with black acne. What can I do to fix this problem, and which face cream would you recommend for glowing skin and acne removal?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For acne removal and to improve face glow, you can consider using a face cream containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene helps in acne treatment by preventing the formation of new acne, while benzoyl peroxide helps in reducing acne-causing bacteria and inflammation.

I've had this small hole in my leg for about 3 to 4 weeks now, and it just won't heal. I'm genuinely concerned and not sure what steps I should take. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this?
A persistent tiny hole in your leg can be concerning. Here are some possible causes and steps to take: *Possible Causes* 1. *Ingrown hair*: A hair growing back into the skin can cause a small hole. 2. *Folliculitis*: An infected hair follicle can lead to a small hole or crater. 3. *Pimple or abscess*: A small pimple or abscess can cause a hole. 4. *Skin infection*: Bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections can cause small holes. *Steps to Take* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Apply antibiotic ointment*: Over-the-counter antibiotic ointments can help prevent infection. 3. *Use a warm compress*: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the area to help bring the hole to a head and encourage healing. 4. *Avoid picking or squeezing*: Resist the temptation to pick or squeeze the hole, as this can lead to further inflammation and scarring.
