View allI'm noticing this rash on my nose that seems to have a butterfly shape. Which specialist should I see firstsomeone who deals with skin issues or maybe an ENT specialist?
Start with a dermatologist (skin specialist), as a butterfly-shaped rash on the nose is often indicative of lupus or rosacea, which are skin conditions that can be diagnosed and treated by a dermatologist.

I've been using adapero mixed with nioclean for my pimples and scars, and it was working so well at first, my scars were actually fading. But then I found out I shouldn't be in the sun too much while using these. I spent a day at the beach, and now the areas where my skin was healing look really dark, almost black where the pimples and scars were. What can I do to fix this? Will the dark spots eventually fade away?
The post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by sun exposure while using adapalene and niacinamide may fade over time with consistent sun protection, topical treatments, and patience, but consult your dermatologist for personalized guidance and treatment.

My son has been having these black spots on his palms and feet lately and they're really itchy. The spots seem to be growing and they're actually under the skin, not on top. The skin over these spots feels hard, kind of like how it looks on people who do a lot of weightlifting or use shovels a lot. Plus, he sweats a lot, especially on his hands and feet. Really worried about whats going on here, any ideas?
