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've been noticing more grey hair lately and it's starting to worry me. Is there a particular reason this might be happening, and is it something I should be concerned about medically? What can I do to manage or potentially reverse it?
To address premature grey hair, consider a multi-faceted approach: maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins B12, D, and E, copper, and iron; reduce stress through meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises; avoid excessive heat styling, smoking, and harsh chemical hair treatments; and explore natural remedies like amla oil, coconut oil, and henna, while consulting a dermatologist or trichologist for personalized guidance.
