What does everyone think? Any thoughts or suggestions?
The widget only comes in fixed sizes, so it can't be made smaller.
We can make it appear only when verification is actually needed, so most visitors won't see it at all.

I still need to make some changes.

I've updated the images and completed the revisions you mentioned last week. You can check out the latest version here.
Our ops colleague is currently on leave, so deploying the preview site may take a little longer. I'll send you a shareable preview link as soon as it's ready.

I have acne. You can see it right here, and also here.
I've had it for about ten years.
Sometimes it gets better, and sometimes it gets worse, but it's not painful at all.
I went to see a doctor last year. The doctor prescribed this medication, and it worked really well for me.
After taking this medication, my acne has improved a lot, but it hasn't completely cleared up.
Can I get a refill of this medication? / Could you refill this prescription for me?
I only use a basic cleanser and moisturizer.
My skin gets oily all the time. Is there anything I can do about that?

It's possible with Jira Service Management (JSM), but it would require significant changes, and emails have no bot protection, so spam would also become tickets.
