I had these tiny little bumps on my left face cheek, pretty harmless but kinda a lot ,around February. At the end of March, these bumps later developed into acne and finding myself in a helpless situation, I consulted a dermatologist around April. She recommended a deriva cms gel adapalene microspheres plus clindamycin phosphate gel to apply on the acne. I was told to apply at night every day for four weeks. It’s been about 9 days since I have been applying it , dried out most of the acne. My concern is whether this gel would help to clear out the redness of the post acne marks or do I need to like buy another product to clear out the scars?

I got my braces on 4/4/26 for my gaps as you see in the above pictures. I got self ligating braces as recommended by my orthodontist. This might seem off as an cliche question but my orthodontist said that my teeth and the gaps would be perfect by in a year or less than a year and i was wondering whether it was actually true haha. Being insecure of my teeth,the only desire of mine is to get my gaps fixed as immediately as possible. I’d be getting braces for my lower teeth next week.
