Question

I'm a bit confused about the difference between Deriva CMS and Clear Gel. My doctor recommended Deriva CMS for my acne scars, but I'm really wondering if it will actually help reduce them. Also, what exactly is Clear Gel used for? Can you help clarify this for me?

Deriva CMS will likely help with acne scars over time by improving skin texture, reducing dark spots, and stimulating collagen production. It may not fully eliminate deep scars, but it should help improve overall appearance. Clear Gel is more suited for treating active acne and will not have much impact on reducing scars.

Question

I've been using this Faiza Beauty Cream, and at first, my skin was looking really good and fairer. But ever since I stopped using it, my skin has gotten worse, and I'm dealing with a lot of really bad pimples now. Can you help me figure out how to fix this and maybe suggest an alternative to this cream that's safer for my skin?

Question

I'm dealing with a fungal infection on my butt and I've heard about using Onabet cream and Luliconazole cream. Do I need to use both of them for it to be effective, or would just one of them work fine? I want to make sure I'm treating it properly.

Question

I've had these milia seeds on my eyelids for as long as I can remember, like 56 years, and no doctor has been able to really help me out over this past year. I've even tried some laser treatments that were supposed to work by burning off the top layer of skin, but they just keep coming back. Is there any actual solution for this? Also, what's causing them in the first place? It's been pretty frustrating, and I just want to know if there's anything else I can try or understand why they keep reappearing.
