Anserine folliculosis is a harmless skin condition that causes small, goose skin-like bumps on the neck, jawline, or chin, often due to repeated friction or pressure. Treatment mainly involves regular use of moisturisers (emollients) to keep the skin soft and hydrated. Keratolytic creams containing urea, lactic acid, or salicylic acid help remove dead skin and smooth the rough, bumpy texture. Topical retinoids such as tretinoin may be prescribed to promote new skin cell growth, but they should be used under medical supervision. It is also important to avoid repeated friction and harsh skincare products and to maintain gentle hygiene to improve the condition over time.

Tretinoin 0.025% cream can help improve acne scars, but for older or deeper scars that are 4-5 years old, it alone may not be sufficient to fully remove them. You should consult a doctor or dermatologist to discuss more effective treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, or laser therapy. If you are advised to use this cream, apply it carefully and always use sunscreen, as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

Tretinoin 0.025% cream can usually help with pimples, blackheads, and some dark spots by helping the skin renew itself. However, since your dark spots have been present for 4 years and tretinoin is a prescription‑only medication, you should consult a dermatologist first. They can properly analyse your skin and recommend the proper treatment steps, which may include tretinoin or other options.

Milia are small, benign cysts caused by trapped keratin under the skin. They are more common on the face but can occasionally appear in other areas, including the genital region. Topical tretinoin (0.025% w/w) is sometimes used to help with milia because it promotes skin cell turnover, but the genital area is very sensitive, and applying tretinoin there can cause irritation, redness, burning, or discomfort. Because of the location, it is essential not to self-treat with prescription creams without medical guidance. A dermatologist or gynaecologist/urologist can confirm whether the bumps are truly milia (as other conditions can look similar) and advise on safe treatment options. In many cases, milia can be removed in-hospital with a minor procedure rather than with topical medication.

Darkened or tanned skin with black spots and oily skin can be improved with a simple routine: wash your face twice daily with a gentle oil-control cleanser, use a light gel moisturizer, and most importantly apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or more) every morning to prevent further darkening.

Arm stretch marks (striae) cannot be completely removed, but you can make them lighter and smoother by regular care; apply moisturising creams daily with ingredients like cocoa butter, hyaluronic acid, or Tretinoin (only if prescribed) to improve skin texture, gently massage the area, and keep your weight stable to prevent new marks. Staying well hydrated and eating protein- and vitamin-rich foods also helps skin repair; for better results, a dermatologist can suggest treatments
