I've had dark circles since I was really young and even tried avarta under eye cream prescribed by a dermatologist but it didn't help at all. Could this be a hereditary issue? Would I need cosmetic procedures to fix this or are there other treatments I should try first

Yes, genetics can be a significant factor in the appearance of dark circles, especially if you've had them since you were young and a prescribed cream didn't help. Cosmetic procedures can be an option, but they are not always necessary. There are other treatments you could try first, like lifestyle changes and home remedies, or medical treatments like fillers or laser therapy if the dark circles are caused by volume loss or pigmentation

I've got this lump on my butt cheek, maybe about an inch or so in diameter. Sometimes it swells up, I think because of the heat or something. It's really hard not to try to pop it a bit because it sort of tears when I sit, then it releases some pus and eventually calms down. My English isn't great, but I hope you get what I'm saying. Could you help me understand what's going on here?

So I've been dealing with these pimple-like small bumps on my nose for about 4 years now and they're not like regular pimples since they don't hurt and never seem to disappear. Sometimes I get other pimples on my cheeks and nose but those usually clear up within a month or so. These other bumps are a different story - they're skin-colored, small, and seem more like cysts because they just won't go away no matter what facewash or scrub I try. My skin is pretty clear otherwise, but these tiny bumps are really bothering me. How can I get rid of them?

To help reduce the appearance of these bumps, you can try using a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel, applying a thin layer to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a salicylic acid cleanser, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, can help to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Remember to moisturize your skin regularly and use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If these bumps persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.

I'm really confused about why my doctor prescribed desonide for my hair loss and dandruff issues. Can it actually help with hair regrowth, or is it just for treating the dandruff? I'm worried because I didn't expect this kind of treatment for hair problems. Could you help me understand how desonide fits into this?
