I've had these white bumps on my skin and hands for months, and now they're showing up on my face too. No matter what I do, they just don't go away. Even if I scratch them off with my nails, they seem to always come back. What's going on, and how can I get rid of them for good?

Could be a sign of a skin condition called Molluscum Contagiosum. This is a viral infection that can spread through direct skin contact. I recommend using a topical treatment like Retin-A (tretinoin) cream to help treat the bumps. Apply a thin layer of Retin-A cream on the affected areas once daily at bedtime. It may take a few weeks to see improvement, so be patient with the treatment. Additionally, avoid scratching or picking at the bumps to prevent further spread of the infection. Keep the affected areas clean and dry to promote healing. If the condition persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI had an accident a few days ago and ended up with some wounds on my right hand. The skin right before my elbow is peeled off. I've been using megaheal ointment on it, but I'm really not sure if that's the right choice. Could you recommend if I should continue with this or suggest a different ointment? I'm a bit uncertain about what's best for healing my injury.

I'm curious about melanin cream and if it's safe to use on my face every day. Im 20 and in college, so I'm wondering if it will really give my skin a glow like they say it does. Could you let me know if it's a good idea, or if there's something better out there for skin tone? Looking forward to your advice.
-Melanin cream can help brighten skin, but it may not be suitable for everyone, especially with regular daily use. Its important to check for any skin sensitivities. I'd recommend consulting a dermatologist to find a safer, more effective option tailor

I've been dealing with acne since I was 15, and it's gotten worse now that I'm 20. I tried some Ayurvedic treatments, but they didn't really help. A dermatologist recommended clarithromycin and tretinoin cream, which showed minimal improvement for a bit, but now my acne's back and even worse. Is there any real, lasting solution out there?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
