I've been using Tretinoin 0.25 cream regularly, and it worked wonders for making my skin bright and tan-free. But after moving to Mumbai post-marriage, my skin's gone dull, and I've started getting pimples. I still use the same cream, yet my face looks lackluster and off. Could you give me some advice on how to fix this?

I've been dealing with these itchy granular rashes on my palm, and sometimes on my feet, for about a week now. The itching on my palm won't stop, and it's starting to really bug me. What's going on and how can I find relief?

It sounds like you may be experiencing contact dermatitis. You can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help with the itching. Additionally, applying a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% to the affected areas twice a day can help reduce inflammation and itching. Make sure to avoid any known triggers or irritants that may be causing the allergic reaction. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing some white spots on my face for the past week. They're a bit rough and sometimes itchy. Usually, when this happens every couple of months, I use Clobetamil G and they go away. This time, though, it doesn't seem to be working. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What do you think might be going on?
