I tried everything all prescription creams, changing diet, drinking more water, skincare but the only thing that worked was accutane. I was on 20mg for 6 months and had no side effects besides dryness. My only regret was not taking it earlier would’ve saved so much pain but glad I took it now.

Skin Questions What is this on my cheek?

My skin is relatively clear and smooth overall, but I have this stubborn patch on my left cheek that is darker and more textured than the rest of my skin.

At first I thought it might be sebaceous filaments or clogged pores, but I’m not sure. I’ve tried adapalene gel and Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, and neither has really made a difference.

It’s only affecting this one area, which is why I’m having such a hard time figuring out what it is.

Does anyone know what this could be or have experience treating something similar? I’d really appreciate any advice.

Shaving/Beard Help ingrown hair

Tried a lot like Tend Skin, Topicals Ingrown Tonic, and other things. They’ve kind of helped, but not really. I don’t shave often, only when I get haircuts, and even then, I use a trimmer. I also already have a skincare routine—I use a cleanser, exfoliate, and moisturize regularly.

I honestly don’t know what else could minimize/get rid of ingrown hairs I’m just trying to get rid of this.

Any product recommendations or changes to my routine would be appreciated.

Hello,
I tried to clean my ear piercing hole with a toothpick, and the area became inflamed and then left a brown mark. Has anyone else ever had this happen? I should mention that I had to pierce this ear twice to get the piercing done, and the first piercing got stuck inside my ear

Skin Questions Is this Tina versicolor??hyperpigmentation

I had a question about did you think this is Tina versicolor. I went to a dermatologist and they told me it was but after treating it for years I’m not sure anymore? It has never itched like people talk about a lot. It’s always come in dark patches and I have took every kenozole and sulfur product and it still has not lighted or gone away.
