I've noticed a dark horizontal line on my nose after I used to pick at the whiteheads there. It's been a year, and while it's faded slightly, it's still pretty visible. Should I be concerned? Do I need to get treatment for this, or will it just fade away over time?
It sounds like you may have developed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on your nose due to the picking and peeling of the skin. To help fade the dark line on your nose, you can consider using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid. An example of such a cream is Tri-Luma, which can be applied once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin and prevent further darkening. If the dark line persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been using NilacA gel for three days and I'm noticing that my face looks kind of whitish now. Is this normal? I started using it for my pimples and I'm not sure if I should be worried about this change in skin color. Can you help me understand what's happening and if I should continue using it or stop?
The whitening of the face could be a side effect of using Nilac-A gel. It is important to discontinue the gel and consult a dermatologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to help with any irritation.
