I've noticed a small pea-sized lump under my skin on my face for about a week now. At first, it hurt when I touched it, but now there's no pain. Should I be worried about this, or could it just be something minor?

Can you recommend a good fairness cream for skin whitening that's suitable for acne-prone skin and won't break the bank? I have dry skin that gets oily in the summer. I'm using Retin-A 0.025% and azelaic acid right now. I'm hoping to improve my skin texture, and I'd really appreciate your advice!

For fairness and skin whitening cream suitable for acne-prone skin with a combination of dry and oily skin, I recommend using "Cetaphil Pro Dermacontrol Oil Absorbing Moisturizer SPF 30". This moisturizer is non-comedogenic, lightweight, and helps to control oil production while providing sun protection. Additionally, you can consider using "Kojic Acid Cream" to help lighten dark spots and enhance skin texture. Make sure to apply the moisturizer in the morning and the kojic acid cream at night for best results.

I'm going through treatment for seborrheic dermatitis and it's causing some hair loss. I'm considering using minoxidil 5% on my scalp to help with the hair loss. Is it safe to use it alongside my current treatment? Would love your advice.

Minoxidil may worsen irritation if your seborrheic dermatitis is not under control, so its essential to address your scalp condition first.Consult with a dermatologist to ensure that using minoxidil with your current seborrheic dermatitis treatment is safe.
