Skin, Hair and Nail Problems
Recurring Acne
I developed acne about two years ago, with widespread inflamed breakouts, and tried several treatments. I started using 10% azelaic acid, which worked well for around a year, but eventually stopped controlling my acne. The acne returned, along with tiny comedonal bumps, especially on my cheeks, and I also feel small acne-like bumps developing under my skin. A dermatologist then prescribed Requil 0.1% retinol, which I have been using for one month now(2 times a week). My skin texture has improved slightly, but I’m still experiencing breakouts and feeling under skin acnes, so I’m unsure whether it is working or if I’m purging.
After researching, I’m considering 0.1% adapalene since its a more acne centred treatment but am unsure whether to switch or trust and continue retinol longer.
I have spent thousands on my skin and I feel very stressed and frustrated from the unimproved condition.
Attached images show before and after retinol condition.

I want proper treatment
Actually, my acne problem started suddenly about a week ago. I have developed a lot of acne on my face, and I want to get rid of it. Could you please tell me approximately how much the medicines would cost per month, how many months it might take for my acne to improve, and whether the treatment could have any side effects?

Excessive sweating on face
I sweat excessively, especially on my face. When I go outside in hot weather, I sweat a lot. I also sweat while cooking, and even after applying makeup, I start sweating just by walking for a short while. Most of the sweating is from my face.
I have also noticed that the skin around my upper and lower lip has become tanned/darker, possibly due to frequent sweating.
I would like to know why I am sweating so much and what treatment or skincare would help control the sweating and the pigmentation around my lips.

Bumps on base of penis shaft
I have 3–4 very small bumps on the skin of my penis near the base. I first noticed them around February, and they have stayed almost the same in size and number for about 6 months. They don't hurt, bleed, or cause any other symptoms.
I showed them to a dermatologist earlier. He said they could be skin tags, especially since I had gained quite a bit of weight, but he was not completely sure and told me to observe them for a few months.
I have also done STI tests for HIV, VDRL (syphilis), HSV-1, HSV-2, HBsAg (hepatitis B), and HCV (hepatitis C), and all were non-reactive.
I'm attaching pictures from around 6 months ago and pictures from now. Could you please tell me what these bumps look more like — skin tags, another harmless skin condition, or genital warts? Does the fact that they have remained almost unchanged for 6 months make warts less likely? What would you recommend I do about them?
I mainly want to know what they are and whether there is anything I need to worry about
