I've been using tretin 0.025 cream for the past two months on a doctor's recommendation and while I've seen some good results, I'm still struggling with clogged pores and now it seems like my pore size has increased too. I'm feeling really frustrated. Could you recommend a good tretinoin gel that might give me better results?

As suggested by one of the doctors, you can try using Retin-A Micro gel 0.04% for better results. Apply a pea-sized amount on the affected area once daily in the evening. This gel formulation may help in reducing clogged pores and improving the overall texture of your skin. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this product.

I'm curious about something that's been happening to me. Whenever I step into a really hot car, I start getting goosebumps. It's a bit odd because I don't usually experience goosebumps in warm weather. Is this something I should be worried about, and why does it happen specifically in hot cars?

That could be due Phobia or hypersensitivity,just avoid such situations

I've got this black spot on my leg, and I'm really not sure what to do about it. Any ideas on how I can get rid of it? What's the best solution for something like this?

This could be due to various reasons such as skin pigmentation or a mole. Without a physical examination, it is difficult to give a precise diagnosis. However, if it is a pigmentation issue, he can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily. If it is a mole or concerning lesion, he should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and possible removal.
