I'm a bit worried about the MINOZ ER 45 that my doctor gave me for my acne. I'm supposed to take it for 6 months. Can you tell me if it's a steroid or just an antibiotic?

Gradually reduce the use of Panderm Plus, switch to a gentle moisturizer, and consider using acne treatment options that dont involve steroids. Consulting with a dermatologist is always a great next step to find a tailored solution for your skin.

Question

I've recently noticed that I've got this scar on my buttocks that's turned into a round shape. It's been super itchy, especially at night, and I've also seen white flakes of skin peeling off. The skin's also got darker, and the whole area seems to be growing. I've tried using itch guard and onabet, but things aren't getting better. What might be causing this, and what should I do next?
