I've just started taking medication for hair treatment since early September 2017 and I've come across some stuff about potential side effects. I'm kinda worried because some articles I read online are making me anxious. Are these side effects common for everyone, or is it just a few cases?

View allI've been dealing with really painful pimples on my face and I think they show up after I eat curd with my meals. It's been happening a lot lately, and I'm pretty concerned. Could the curd be the cause of my breakouts? I'd really appreciate any advice or insight into what's going on.

I've noticed these tiny black dots on both my earlobes, kind of the size of a pinhead. When I squeeze them, a little black thing comes out, and that's about it. Should I be concerned? What could they be?
On both earlobes, the tiny pinhead-sized black dots you are describing are likely blackheads. These are caused by clogged hair follicles. To treat this, you can use over-the-counter products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. I recommend using a face wash with salicylic acid daily, and applying a benzoyl peroxide cream as a spot treatment on the affected areas. Remember to follow the instructions on the product packaging for best results.

I'm dealing with Grade 1 acne around my chin, jawline, and cheeks. I'm using Clindac A1 gel in the morning for a couple of hours and Deriva Cms Gel at night, also for a few hours before washing it off. The doctor also put me on Doxy 1 ldr forte, 100 mg, twice a day for 10 days. I'm really hoping to get rid of this acne completely. Could you tell me how long it might take, and if there's a chance this will leave any scars?
