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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been dealing with pimples and blackheads on my face for the past couple of months and started using Deriva-Bro gel for three days now. But I'm not sure how long I should be applying this gel. Can you guide me on the right usage or any other tips?
-Hi Gulam Sarwar, you can use Deriva-BPO gel once daily, usually at night, for 4-6 weeks to see improvements. If you experience irritation, reduce usage to every other day and consult your doctor for further guidance.

I've been dealing with cracked nipples for as long as I can remember, and nothing seems to work. I've tried all sorts of lotions and creams for about two years and even turned to homeopathy for the past six months, but I haven't noticed any improvement. I'm not pregnant, and I honestly don't know why this is happening. Do you have any suggestions or ideas on what might help?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Why did my skin get worse after I stopped using Sabi glow and started the sunscreen and moisturizer like the doctor said? My forehead turned really black in just two weeks, and Im wondering why it happened. Now I'm using lumacip plus and kojivit cream, and it's getting better. Is my doctor using trial and error with my skin, and how long will it take for my skin to improve? I've been trying different treatments for more than 4 years now, and I'm concerned.
