I'm curious about the difference between the gel and solution forms of this chemical. Is it true that doctors use the solution for peeling? I'm wondering if its stronger or more effective than the gel. Could you shed some light on this?

Question

I've been dealing with a lot of acne lately, and my skin's gotten really oily. I've been using Clincitop cream, along with a Lotus tea tree face wash and Oriflame tea tree moisturizer. I'm really hoping to clear up these pimples and the marks they leave behind, plus I'd love to get rid of this oily skin. Could you please guide me on what to do?

Question

I've been smoking for the past five years, and about a year ago, I noticed a white spot on my lips but didn't think much of it. Now I see another spot on the other side. I've quit smoking recently, but I'm worried about these spots. How can I get rid of them?

Question

I've been struggling with frequent pimples for quite some time now. I started using Lobate GM about four years ago, but the pimples just keep coming back, especially if I try to switch my face wash. Lately, it's been really bad, mostly on my forehead, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm currently in Chennai working for an MNC, and it's becoming pretty frustrating to manage. Can you suggest a complete solution for this ongoing issue? It would be great if you could also recommend any ointments that might suit my skin type.
