I have small holes on my nose, and I want to improve the texture of my skin. How can I reduce or fill them effectively?
Vikas Singh
M Pharmacy
Small holes on the nose are often enlarged pores or mild acne scars. They usually happen when pores get stretched by extra oil, blackheads, or old pimples. This is a common issue and can get better, but home remedies usually cannot completely fill them in for good. The best treatment depends on how deep the holes are. Creams that renew the skin and reduce oil may help your skin?s texture over time, but you should only use them if your doctor recommends it. For stronger results, treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapy might be suggested. You can start by taking simple steps: wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, use products that are not oily, and put on sunscreen to protect your skin. Try not to squeeze your pores or pimples, since this can make things worse. Products that control oil and keep pores clean can slowly improve how your skin looks. If you want quicker or more noticeable results, a dermatologist can help you find safe treatment options.
I am getting pimples along with dark and dry skin, and I also feel sleepy most of the time. What could be the reason?
Vikas Singh
M Pharmacy
If you have pimples, dark or dry skin, and often feel sleepy, it could be a sign of an internal imbalance rather than just a skin problem. Common causes include hormonal changes like thyroid problems, low haemoglobin (anaemia), vitamin deficiencies such as B12 or vitamin D, poor sleep, or stress. These issues can affect your skin and energy at the same time. Because you have several symptoms, it?s a good idea to find out what?s causing them. Your doctor might recommend basic blood tests, such as checking your haemoglobin, thyroid, or vitamin levels, but only if needed after seeing you. Treating the main problem usually helps both your skin and your tiredness. You can start by taking care of yourself: eat a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and protein, drink plenty of water, and try to get enough sleep. Use a gentle face wash and avoid harsh products that could further dry out your skin. Managing stress and getting some sunlight can also help. If symptoms continue or worsen, a proper check-up will help guide the right treatment.
What can I do, sir? I recently took the medication Doxypal, and I have pimples on my face.
Y. Lakshmi Thulasi
Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)
Doxypal (doxycycline) is usually given to treat acne, not cause it, but sometimes pimples may still appear due to skin type, hormones, or incomplete response. Continue the medicine only if prescribed, keep your face clean with a gentle face wash, avoid oily products, and don?t pick pimples. You can add a mild anti-acne gel like adapalene or benzoyl peroxide at night. If acne is worsening or not improving, consult your doctor to adjust treatment.
How can I avoid getting pimples and acne?
Y. Lakshmi Thulasi
Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)
To prevent pimples from acne vulgaris, keep your skin clean by washing your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser, use oil-free (non-comedogenic) moisturizer and sunscreen, and avoid touching or picking your face. Limit oily foods, manage stress, and keep hair and pillowcases clean. If you?re prone to acne, using products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can help prevent breakouts, and regular care works better than short-term treatments.

To manage back and facial acne from acne vulgaris, use a gentle face/body wash with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, bathe after sweating, and wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce oil and friction on the back. Apply oil-free moisturizer and avoid picking pimples to prevent marks. For the face, keep a simple routine with a mild cleanser, sunscreen, and, if needed, a topical retinoid at night. If acne is severe, painful, or persistent, consult a dermatologist for stronger treatments.
