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.

I've noticed these soft, fatty lumps under the skin on my hands and legs they don't hurt but they're bothering me. Could these be lipomas? I'm open to surgery if that's the best option but wanted to check what treatments are usually recommended for this

It's possible the soft, fatty lumps you're experiencing are lipomas. These benign growths are harmless and often don't require treatment, but if they're bothersome or causing symptoms, removal options like surgical excision or liposuction are available.
