I've been using Skinlite for a couple of days now, and I'm really worried because the skin around my black spots has gotten worse. It's turned red and then turned black. What can I do to get my skin back to normal?

You can apply a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1 week to reduce inflammation. Additionally, use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion to keep the skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've recently seen a dermatologist and they prescribed me Resoten 20, along with some moisturizers and lip balm. I've heard that this medication can make acne look worse before it starts to improve. Should I stick with the 20mg, or do you think a stronger dose might be necessary for my mild to severe acne? Also, is there a more affordable option for Isotretinoin capsules than Resoten 20?

Marks left after acne on skin

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I've been experiencing this really strange itching all over my body, like on my chest, hands, neck, back, and shoulders. The thing is, these marks just show up on my skin like scratch marks, but I swear I didn't scratch myself. It's kind of weird because after some time, they just disappear when the itching stops. I'm starting to get worried about what this could be. Do you have any idea what's going on?
