My younger sister is 23, and she has been dealing with these black spots all over her body for the past two years. She's seen a bunch of doctors, but there hasn't been any improvement. We're really concerned about what to do next. Any suggestions or possible solutions?

To address this issue, I recommend she try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. She can apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas once daily in the evening. Additionally, she should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect her skin from further darkening. If there is no improvement after a few weeks of consistent use, she should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been using elocon cream for a couple of months just on my chin, and now out of nowhere, I've got like 100 pimples all over my chin and jawline, and it's spreading across my lower face. I gave retin a a shot, but it actually made the acne worse. I also tried some antibiotic pills, but they didn't help. Now, I'm using fusidin cream 2 antibiotics, still no luck. It's been over 10 days and things aren't getting better. I just started using acutret, hoping it'll help. Could this breakout be a side effect of the elocon cream? If so, how long might it last, and what can I do to improve the situation?
Elocon cream (mometasone) can cause skin issues like acne, especially with prolonged use. This reaction might be a rebound effect or steroid-induced acne. Considering you've already tried various treatments, it's essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance. They may recommend alternative treatments or adjust your current regimen. In the meantime, consider the following: 1. Stop using Elocon cream. 2. Continue Acutret (isotretinoin) as directed by your dermatologist. 3. Maintain good skincare hygiene and use non-comedogenic products.
