Can you tell me if it's possible to get dimples without having surgery? I wasn't naturally born with them, and I'm really curious if there are exercises or anything else that might help?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to create permanent dimples without surgery. Dimples are genetic traits that are caused by a small opening in the cheek muscle. However, there are some facial exercises that may help enhance the appearance of dimples. One exercise involves smiling widely and pressing your fingers into the sides of your cheeks where dimples would naturally form. Hold this position for a few seconds and repeat several times a day. Remember, results may vary and these exercises may not create permanent dimples.

I'm dealing with an infected sebaceous cyst, and I've noticed it's about the size of a 20p coin. I've been using Bactroban for about 5 days now, and I'm seeing slow progress, if any, with it. Before I knew what it was, I was using sea salt, and it seemed to work a bit better. I'm wondering if it's okay to use both the Bactroban and sea salt at the same time. I think the salt helps dry it out, but I'm concerned it might interfere with how the Bactroban works. What do you think?

I'm really worried about my sister's skin. She's got a naturally dusky tone, but her job in sales means she's out in the field a lot, and it's made her skin even darker. I think it's because of increased melanin from all that sun exposure. Can you recommend any remedies to reduce the tanning and help get her skin back to its original color?
kindly consult dermatologist.
