A member asked:
Hi, i am getting pimples frequently and acns. they test my hb (12) & tsh (5.46), what that mean?

General health: Your TSH may be a bit high and if so, you'll be worked up for possible thyroid disease. A hemoglobin of 12 is fine for a young woman. These are unrelated to your acne. Especially if you have scarring, you need to address your acne as a chronic skin disease that can be managed. Insist on full explanations and a trial of treatment that may clear you.
