View allI've been dealing with acne vulgaris grade four for quite a while now, and it's been pretty severe. I have acne all over my face, and the pimples are mostly mild, with a bunch of blackheads on my nose, cheeks, and forehead. Occasionally, they turn into pimples, but that's not always the case. I've tried using Amway Attitude face wash since my skin is quite sensitive, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. It feels like no face wash really suits me. It's been two years of this and even after seeing a dermatologist, the meds haven't been that effective. I'm really not keen on trying chemical peels. What would you suggest I try or do?
Skin care needs to be customized based on the presenting complaints. There are different ways to achieve a flawless skin after acne and it needs medical interventions and commitment on part of the patient. Acne treatment has multiple stages - to control new breakouts, to clear the sequelae (pigmentation and scars) and to prevent a relapse. An attempt to find out the root cause of acne should be made in every patient or else it keeps recurring. Each phase takes a couple of weeks before we move to the next phase of treatment. If you have active acne lesions, it should be controlled on priority basis.

I'm thinking about stopping my use of Melacare. Can you suggest another cream that can help change my skin tone and make it look fairer? I'm a bit concerned about finding the right alternative.
If someone stops using Melacare cream, they can consider using a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone furoate. One such cream is called "Skinlite Cream." It should be used once daily at night for a limited duration under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

I've got this sudden blister on my waistline that showed up this afternoon, but there's no rash that I can see. I usually sweat a lot. Yesterday I was out in the sun for over eight hours. I'm curious about what's causing this blister. Could it be related to the sun exposure or maybe something else?
That could be folliculitis or pemphigous,visit dermatologist as soon as possible for evaluation and appropriate management.
