How to deal with persistent acne and skin issues?
Hello doctor,
I am 17 years old and male. I am concerned about my skin, and it is causing me insecurities. I have been dealing with frequent acne for years, but it has decreased in the last two months with the use of skincare products. However, I now have brown acne pigments on my cheeks. Dandruff has been persistent for three years, and in the last year, I have experienced occasional back acne and three acne spots on my shoulder. My chest occasionally turns red for a few minutes. Additionally, wounds sometimes form blood clots that turn black and remain.
Under stress, my body tends to itch, and four years ago, my thigh region near the testicles began peeling, leaving a red, discolored area that no longer sheds skin. I also experience dry skin peeling from my outer ear. I am seeking suggestions for a cure without prescription medications or hospital visits. Is it possible to achieve a complete cure within six months? Please help.
Thank you.

Is Skyrizi effective for psoriasis?
Hi doctor,
As a patient diagnosed with psoriasis and currently undergoing treatment with Skyrizi, I am immensely grateful for the advancements in medical science that have provided us with such therapeutic options. However, I would greatly appreciate your advice in addressing a few queries I have concerning the medication's efficacy and the probable duration of treatment. Could you elaborate on the expected efficacy of Skyrizi in managing psoriasis symptoms over the course of treatment? Are there specific indicators that I should look out for its effectiveness, such as a reduction in plaque severity, itching, or improved skin appearance? And what is the typical treatment duration for Skyrizi for patients with psoriasis? Also, should I expect any fluctuations in effectiveness or changes in treatment response over time while on Skyrizi?
