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?

View allI'm worried about my face getting so oily after being dry for so long. I've been dealing with regular breakouts and the pimples I get are mostly whiteheads, blackheads, and sometimes a few painful bumps. I've tried a bunch of different products to get rid of them, but nothing really seems to work. I don't have a ton of pimples, just around 8 to 10, and I do use makeup as well. Could you suggest a routine that might help keep my face clear of zits?
Since you have been experiencing oily skin and regular breakouts with whiteheads, blackheads, and occasional painful bumps, it sounds like you may be dealing with acne. To help keep your face zit-free, I recommend starting with a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce oiliness. Follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without clogging your pores. Incorporating a topical retinoid cream at night can also help with acne and prevent future breakouts. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is essential to protect your skin from further damage. As you mentioned using makeup products, opt for oil-free and non-comedogenic formulas to prevent worsening your acne. In case of persistent breakouts, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and prescription treatments such as benzoyl peroxide or topical antibiotics.

I was combing my son's hair today and noticed these small black spots on his scalp. They seem dry and come out with his hair when I comb it harder. He hasn't mentioned any itching or pain, but I'm kind of worried. What could these spots be, and should I do anything about it?
That could be Dermatophytic infection, wash his scalp regularly and avoid scratching, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
