[Misc] Curology has a limit on Spiro prescription?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I read a Curology review (I think on makeupalley) that stated after 3 months the Curology derms will no longer continue to prescribe you Spiro, and that they said their script is so you can "try it out". Does anyone have experience with this? I'd like to ask to try Spiro but I don't want to have to worry about finding a local doctor to write me a script when it runs out.

[sun care] When putting on sunscreen don't forget your ears!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
In the anatomy class I'm taking we just covered skin cancer. Something that the teacher said which stuck out to me was that forms of skin cancer are commonly found on the left side of the face & left ear because people often don't wear sunscreen while driving. After he said that I realized that while I coat my face & neck with sunscreen every day I never put any on my ears! Needless to say ears are now included in my sunscreen routine!

[skin concerns] Can anyone tell me what this is?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
http://imgur.com/a/q4g1TSo this happens to me usually about an hour after sweating a lot from doing some intense sports - running, basketball, etc. I sweat a lot on my face, and try to rinse it off a few times during a session. My doc said that this is acne but it doesn't seem to be. I saw a derm a long time ago and was told the same (prescribed Differin). I've had pretty bad acne before and the routine I use below has done a decent job of at least getting rid of the white heads and big pimples. I still get the occasional pimple, but my main concern now is the redness you see after sports.Right now my current routine is as follows:AM:Water and CeraVe Hyrading cleanserCeraVe AMPM:Water and CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser or once or twice a week I'll use the Noble Zinc BarTactuPump (Epiduo) - Been on this for about 5 months.CeraVe PM - wait at least 20 mins after TactuPumpI'm planning on getting a referral to see another derm, but in the meantime I'd appreciate any help from the sub.

[Skin Concerns] How to get rid of this red line on my stomach?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi there!I'll start by posting the photo of what I'm talking about: here it is. I know it's not a great photo, I can try to take a better one if needed.So, I have this red line on my stomach that actually looks like a scar (my dermatologist thought it was a scar) but it's not. I never did any surgery in this area. I am not fat, I'm actually skinny but depending on how I sit my stomach "folds" in way that makes this scar(?) get more red. Me and my friends always joke that this is a scar from when a guy attacked me and sliced me with a knife.So yeah, I would like to get rid of it (which I don't think it's possible) or at least use something that would make it less red. Some days it is extremely red.Anyone have any tips for this?EDIT: thought it was good to add that my dermatologist said there isn't much to do. He gave me a ointment to apply in that area but I didn't notice any difference to be honest.Thanks in advance!

[Skin Concerns] What do you think this red thing is?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
http://imgur.com/Z4PvQsxI have had this red thing on my left breast for a decade, maybe longer not sure. It's quite close to my nipple, not a spot that sees the sun. What do you think it is? Is it some kind of cherry angioma? I have a dermatologist appointment on the 6th and will ask her about it too, but just wanted to ask here if anyone has an opinion or something similar.I have very fair, transculent skin, and a lot of broken capillaries on my legs and back. But this red thing is unique, there is nothing else like that anywhere else on my body.
