I've been using Skin Shine cream on and off for about three months, and a few days after stopping, I noticed my skin turned pinkish and dry, and it started peeling. Now my face looks darker than before. I went to see a dermatologist, and she recommended I start using Photoban 30, Nilac gel, and Azac cream every day. I'm really worried and just wondering how long it might take before my skin goes back to normal. Any advice would be really appreciated.

It is difficult to give an exact timeline as individual responses to treatment can vary. However, with regular and proper use of the prescribed medications, you may start to see improvements in your skin within a few weeks to a couple of months. It is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions carefully and be patient with the treatment process.

View allI've had multiple small lipomas on both hands for the past 23 years, with some on my stomach and chest too. About 12 of them hurt when pressed hard. New ones keep appearing, and some older ones are getting bigger. Every doctor I've seen says surgery is the only option, but there are so many and I'm worried about scarring. Is there a safe treatment that can stop new lipomas from forming?

Hey, I've been reading up about macular amyloidosis and the dark spots that come with it. I've heard surgery could be a solution, but is it permanent? Are there any other treatments that might help reduce the discoloration without going under the knife? Just trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Couldn't hurt to ask, right?

I've noticed these black spots and red patches that have shown up on both sides of my inner thighs. They seem to itch mostly at night when I'm trying to sleep, and there's also this uncomfortable burning sensation. It's starting to worry me a bit. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection, such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with healing.
