I've had this small bump on my nose for as long as I can remember, over 56 years now. It's not painful or irritating, but it popped up after I had a really bad pimple there years ago, and the scar just turned into this bump. I've tried all sorts of ointments and creams, but nothing seems to work. It's pretty noticeable, and honestly, I just want a smooth nose again. My skin is on the oily side, so I was wondering if there's a permanent treatment you'd recommend that doesn't have side effects?

View allI've been dealing with acne scars and I'm breastfeeding my 5-month-old baby. I'm thinking about using tretinoin tretin 0.05% cream on my face to help with the scars and acne, but I'm really worried if this could affect my baby through breastfeeding. Is it safe for me to use this cream or should I avoid it while I'm nursing? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
While tretinoin (Tretin 0.05%) is effective for acne and scars, it's not recommended for breastfeeding mothers, as it's a topical retinoid that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and potentially pass into breast milk, posing a risk to your 5-month-old baby; instead, consider alternative treatments, such as azelaic acid, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid, and consult your doctor or a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I've been dealing with this jock itch for a couple of months now and it's driving me crazy. I've tried using Cloben G cream, and it seems to help while I'm using it, but as soon as I stop, the itch comes back. It's really uncomfortable and mostly around my inner thighs and buttocks. The skin is darker with a red, bumpy border, and lighter brown inside. I'm looking for a permanent fix. What can I do?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
