I've got this painful pimple near my nipple, and I think it started because of an ingrown hair. I'm really worried about it and not sure what to do next. Should I see a doctor for something like this, or is there anything I can try at home to make it go away and prevent any infection?

I've been dealing with keratosis pilaris for nearly a decade, and I've tried everything, including chemical peels. It's all over my shoulders, legs, thighs, and buttocks. I'm looking for a doctor who can help reduce its appearance. Plus, I've started experiencing a lot of hair fall and have lost a significant amount of hair. Any advice on managing these issues?

Consider consulting a dermatologist specializing in keratosis pilaris, who may recommend customized treatments such as microdermabrasion, laser therapy, or intense pulsed light (IPL) to reduce visibility, and also investigate the hair loss, potentially related to keratosis pilaris or an underlying condition, to develop a comprehensive treatment plan addressing both concerns.

I'm a bit worried about the MINOZ ER 45 that my doctor gave me for my acne. I'm supposed to take it for 6 months. Can you tell me if it's a steroid or just an antibiotic?

Gradually reduce the use of Panderm Plus, switch to a gentle moisturizer, and consider using acne treatment options that dont involve steroids. Consulting with a dermatologist is always a great next step to find a tailored solution for your skin.
