I've developed this dark and rough skin on the sides of my nose, and while it doesn't itch much, it's been bothering me for about 3-4 months now. I scratched it once out of irritation, and that only made it worse. Though it's reduced a bit since then, I'm still not seeing much improvement. I tried using lemon juice, but it burned, so I've switched to aloe gel, but it doesn't seem to be helping either. Any idea what might be causing this and what I could do to make it better?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized guidance, and in the meantime, try using a gentle exfoliating scrub, a topical cream containing niacinamide or kojic acid, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen to help improve the dark, rough skin on the sides of your nose.

View allI'm curious about the difference between the gel and solution forms of this chemical. Is it true that doctors use the solution for peeling? I'm wondering if its stronger or more effective than the gel. Could you shed some light on this?
Gel is considered better than a solution.

Can you help me with these stretch marks? I've been hitting the gym for about 2 years now, and I've started noticing red stretch marks appearing. I've attached some pics for you to see. How can I get rid of them, and what can I do to prevent them from coming back in the future?
To reduce the redness and visibility of your stretch marks, you can try using a topical cream containing ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, or vitamin C. One option is to use a cream like Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy, applying it to the affected areas twice a day. In addition to topical treatments, maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, staying hydrated, and moisturizing your skin regularly can also help improve the appearance of stretch marks. It's important to keep your skin well-hydrated to promote healing and elasticity. To prevent future stretch marks, you can also consider incorporating foods rich in collagen and antioxidants into your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Staying hydrated and maintaining a consistent exercise routine can also help keep your skin healthy and less prone to developing stretch marks. Remember, results may vary for each individual, and it's important to be patient as it can take time to see improvements in the appearance of your stretch marks.
