I've got these white and black patches popping up around my neck, chest, and back. Someone mentioned it might be sobi, a skin disease? I'm really worried and just need some advice on which ointments could help treat both types of patches. Any suggestions would be appreciated. What should I be looking out for in terms of symptoms or treatments?

For white patches, you can use Tacrolimus ointment twice daily on the affected areas. For black patches, you can use Hydroquinone cream once daily on the affected areas. Make sure to apply a thin layer of the ointment or cream and gently massage it into the skin.

View allI'm planning my wedding and the stress of acne is really getting to me. The doctor prescribed me Deriva CMS gel for my acne, but I'm really worried it might make things worse before they get better, especially with my big day coming up. Does this gel really cause acne to increase at the start? Im just so confused about whether I should start using it now. Any advice would be massively helpful.
Deriva CMS gel is a topical retinoid treatment that contains adapalene, which can help reduce acne. Initial Breakout or Purge: Yes, it's common for Deriva CMS gel to cause an initial breakout or "purge" phase, especially during the first 2-4 weeks of treatment. This can manifest as: 1. Increased redness and inflammation 2. More noticeable acne lesions 3. Skin sensitivity or irritation This initial breakout is usually a sign that the treatment is working, as it pushes underlying blockages and bacteria to the surface. Pre-Wedding Concerns: Given your upcoming wedding, it's understandable that you're concerned about the potential initial breakout. However, it's essential to remember that: 1. The initial breakout is usually temporary and subsides within a few weeks. 2. Deriva CMS gel can help improve your skin's appearance and reduce acne in the long run.
