I've had this dark horizontal line across my nose for the past two years, and nothing seems to help. It's embarrassing, and I've tried so many things, including a Q-Switch laser treatment that only slightly lightened it. Retino gel hasn't worked either, and I'm worried because I'm running out of options and can't afford expensive treatments. Could you suggest anything else I might try to get rid of this?

I'm really struggling with an acne problem that I've been dealing with for what feels like forever, maybe 6 or 7 years. It's super frustrating because just when I think it's gone, it comes back again. Right now, my doctor has me on tretiva 30 mg, and it seems to be helping a lot. But I'm worried about whether there are any negative effects of taking tretiva. Can you give me some insight into what I should watch out for?

side effects include nausea, headache etc , continue all the medications ..
