The whiteheads is quite significant. I would suggest you consider first to use the right products.

- Gel based serums or moisturiser

- Retinoids to assist in the appropriate keratinolysis

- the occasional home based chemical peels AHA/BHA

Following it, then consider the use of:

- Carbon laser which reduces acne outbreaks/cystic acne

- Hydrafacial/machine based facial for gentle exfoliation.

Those would be useful to consider. Severe acne outbreaks may warrant medications. Consult your doctor early.

Should I go to a dentist or doctor for teeth marks on my tongue?

Thank you for your question. There can be many reasons for white spots at the side of your tongue. If you’ve seen a GP and was asked to see a dentist, he or she may be concerned that the spots may be due to your teeth rubbing against the side of your tongue. The medical term for white lesions on the tongue or anywhere in the mouth that cannot be removed is called leukoplakia. Leukoplakia can be benign (non cancerous), pre-cancerous or cancerous.

What could be the cause of non-itchy red rashes on my torso? (photos)

Thank you for the question. It is difficult to be sure from the clinical photos and you should visit your doctor/dermatologist for a thorough history and physical examination for a proper diagnosis. Some possibilities include pityriasis rosea, secondary syhilis and viral exanthem. But I do advise to see your doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
