Question

So I've been dealing with these pimple-like small bumps on my nose for about 4 years now and they're not like regular pimples since they don't hurt and never seem to disappear. Sometimes I get other pimples on my cheeks and nose but those usually clear up within a month or so. These other bumps are a different story - they're skin-colored, small, and seem more like cysts because they just won't go away no matter what facewash or scrub I try. My skin is pretty clear otherwise, but these tiny bumps are really bothering me. How can I get rid of them?

To help reduce the appearance of these bumps, you can try using a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel, applying a thin layer to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a salicylic acid cleanser, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, can help to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Remember to moisturize your skin regularly and use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If these bumps persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.

I'm really worried about how much melanin my body seems to be producing lately. It feels like it's getting worse every day. I started using sunscreen, but I'm scared the damage might already be done. How can I prevent and reduce melanin production effectively? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question

I'm currently taking Zempred 4mg during the weekends, two tablets each on Saturday and Sunday for a total of one month, which adds up to 16 tablets. I've been diagnosed with lichen planus pigmentosus. I'm wondering if it's okay to stop taking these tablets after the one month is up? Is it generally safe to continue with this dosage for just a month?

Question

I'm a 26-year-old guy dealing with hair fall, and I've even got bald spots on my scalp. I really want to know how to open up pores on my scalp so my hair can grow back.
