Question

I had an accident a few days ago and ended up with three stitches on the back of my head. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Soframycin on them. What do you think? Should I be careful about anything while applying it?

Question

I'm using Deriva CMS for my acne issues, and I've heard that it initially causes all the acne to surface before it heals the skin. My doctor suggested mixing it with Cetaphil moisturizer, applying it for an hour before bed, washing it off, and then using Cleargel. Since it's winter and my skin tends to get dry, I'm worried it might cause a dry patch. Do you think I could use Deriva CMS as a spot treatment for just a few hours to avoid this? Would love some advice on this!

Question

I'm trying to figure out which acne gel would be better for me. I don't have pus-filled acne, just the common kind. Should I go for clindamycin phosphate gel or nicotinamide phosphate gel?

Question

I've had this lump on my forehead for a couple of months now, and I think it might need a little incision to get rid of it. Should I be seeing a dermatologist for this, or would a general physician be better? I'm not really sure who to go to, and I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
