My face is totally covered with blackheads and whiteheads, except on my forehead. I scrub twice every day because otherwise I feel too self-conscious to go out. I've tried tons of dermatological products, including the PERNEX my last dermatologist suggested, but nothing has worked. Do you know anything that might actually help? I'm feeling really frustrated about this situation.

It sounds like you have tried various dermatological products without success. In this case, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Differin (adapalene) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can use a salicylic acid cleanser like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. Use it twice daily to help unclog pores and prevent new blackheads and whiteheads from forming. Remember to moisturize your skin as retinoids can be drying. Be patient as it may take a few weeks to see improvement.

I'm really worried because within just one year, I've noticed my hair is thinning so much and I'm even starting to see bald patches. It's like my hairline is receding too, and now I'm really concerned. I used to feel more confident and even a bit prettier when I had more hair. Do you think this might be something serious? Could it be from thyroid issues or maybe it's genetics? I'm just not sure what's happening, and frankly, I'm feeling freaked out. Any advice on what's causing this and what I could possibly do to stop or slow it down?
