What are the methods for getting rid of acne marks?

Hello doctor,

I have been getting pimples for the last four to five months. I am not sure about the reason. Tried a proper skincare routine, too. But it did not affect me much. Is there any cream I can apply to the acne marks? Kindly help.

Thank you.

Why do I have a brown spot on the head of my penis?

Hello doctor,

I have a brown spot on the head of my penis and a few six to seven black mole-like spots on the foreskin. I think the brown spot has been there for a couple of years, but I am not sure. Are these a cause for concern?

What is the best course of action for severe dyshidrotic eczema flare-ups?

Hello doctor,

My brother has been diagnosed with dyshidrotic eczema. He experienced a severe flare-up five years ago, and he is currently experiencing another significant flare-up. He is exhibiting symptoms on both hands, and some itchy rash has also appeared on his knees. Interestingly, the rash on his left knee appeared after he had a fall last Sunday, while he already had a slight rash on his hands at that time. Initially, the doctor suspected a bacterial infection on his left knee and prescribed antibiotics. However, after two doses of antibiotics, his hand eczema worsened dramatically overnight, with swelling and blisters appearing all over. When he visited the doctor the next morning, the doctor only recommended a low-dose steroid ointment. However, he is still struggling with his condition. All his blood tests, including CRP, came back normal.

I am attaching some pictures for reference. Could you please suggest the right course of action for quick relief?

Thank you.
