I've recently had to get stitches on my forehead for a cut, and now that they're out, there's this noticeable mark left behind. I'm a bit worried and wondering if there's a way to help reduce or get rid of the scar. Could you give me some advice on what steps I might take? Maybe certain treatments or creams to consider?

I've been prescribed 5 mg of Tretiva for my acne, and I'm wondering if that's enough to keep breakouts at bay over the next 20 days. I'm nervous it might not be enough. Any insights?

yes.

I had a bandaid on my finger for a couple of days because of a cut, which seemed to have healed. When I took the bandaid off today though, my finger looked kinda weird. What could be going on? Should I be worried or do something about it?

it's likely that the skin under the band-aid has experienced skin irritation or contact dermatitis, possibly due to adhesive or friction; apply a topical antibiotic ointment and cover with a breathable dressing to promote healing, and consider switching to hypoallergenic band-aids or alternative wound dressings in the future.
