I've been using this thing called hydroquinone tretinoin baby face num.2 and my face got really red after just three days. I stopped using it, but then my skin started peeling and stayed red for a few more days. Now I've got this really bad rash on my face, which has never happened before. I've always had clear skin and never any acne on my forehead, just some tiny pimples on my cheeks. But now, these small red pimples are all over my face. How can I get my skin back to normal?

I've noticed a dark horizontal line on my nose after I used to pick at the whiteheads there. It's been a year, and while it's faded slightly, it's still pretty visible. Should I be concerned? Do I need to get treatment for this, or will it just fade away over time?
It sounds like you may have developed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on your nose due to the picking and peeling of the skin. To help fade the dark line on your nose, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. An example of such a cream is Tri-Luma, which can be applied once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin and prevent further darkening. If the dark line persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
