A member asked:

Body acnes from chigger,ants and mosquitoes bite and scratch after. this causes dark spots all over my body. i see doctors and got different treatments which doesn't seems to work. can anyone help? please?

Use an approved insect repellent to ward off insects. The dark spots reflect inflammation and will disappear but may take months to years. Try to get insect repellent with DEET. Visit this site about information about insect repellents. https://www.prevention.com/health/g32403398/best-insect-repellents/ Wish you good health!

A member asked:

I am not sure how this works but I would like to discuss my problem with acne. I have seen multiple dermatologist and have not been happy with the results. I am currently on doxycycline and I use a benzoyl peroxide wash with epiduo and an over the counter spot treatment. I have spoke with my Dr and he thinks I would be a great candidate for Accutane. He wants me to go to another dermatologist but I thought I would try this first. Acne?
