I have been struggling with acne for the past 12 years, particularly on my cheeks. I have tried various treatments including Tarana (a birth control medication), skin care products, and Russian Peel sessions. My doctor recently prescribed Retin A Tretinoin 0.025%, but I haven't started using it yet. Can I use CeraVe SA cleanser before applying Retin A, and should I avoid using a moisturizer with it? How long does it usually take for Retin A to show results, and does it help with acne scarring, particularly pitted scars?

I am feeling extreme anxiety and have been crying a lot. I feel very overwhelmed and need someone to talk to. I have ongoing anxiety and depression, and I would like to speak with a psychologist or a psychiatrist. I have been feeling overwhelmed by the loss of my Nonnee, who died in 2019, and I live with my mom who I don't feel connected to, and my brother is emotionally unavailable. I am 21 years old, unemployed, and will be back in school in January for a bachelor's in psychology. I used to play soccer but had an accident that makes me too afraid to play anymore. I mainly enjoy playing video games like The Sims 4. What can I do to feel better?

I bought a male masturbator from a shop and used it after cleaning it with still water and tissue paper. I am now experiencing anxiety due to concerns that the shop might have sold a used product and that I could have contracted HIV. Is it possible to get HIV from using a masturbator in this manner?

I have been experiencing fast heart rate, lightheadedness, and tingling/burning/numbness in my left chest, arm, and hand since April 2020. I have also felt my heart flutter/skip beats a few times. I have been to the ER multiple times and had normal EKGs and an echo. I have hypothyroidism. What can I do to feel normal again and address these symptoms?

I had sex with my boyfriend 5 days ago. We are both 17 and our parents are taking us to get tested. I'm worried they will find traces of sex. How long until the sperm is gone, and can I refuse to take a test?
