Question

I'm currently using Epiduo gel 0.12.5 for my acne, but it's really putting a strain on my budget. Are there any other gels out there with the same ingredients that might be more affordable?

Question

I've been using Betnovate regularly for around 10 years and recently stopped. Now my face is really irritated with redness and itching. I'm not sure what lotion or cream I should try to calm it down and keep my skin healthy. Any recommendations?

Question

I'm noticing some dry patches around my vaginal area and inner thighs, and there's this flaky layer that's forming. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it?

Question

Ive usually been lucky with my skin and hardly ever get pimples, but when I do, they disappear in about 4-5 days. However, about 10 days ago, I got a pimple with pus on my right cheek, and its only gotten bigger and worse over time. I tried all sorts of things like ice, aloe vera, and even benzoyl gel, but nothing worked. I used tretinoin for a night, then tried putting white toothpaste on it for an hour and a half last night. It stung, so I thought it was working, but this morning I woke up with a smaller pimple and a huge dark brown spot that looks like a burn. Im worried itll scar because I work in entertainment and really want it gone asap. Im using aloe vera now to calm it down, but Im not sure what else I should do. Should I try a different cream or an ointment to help with the burn? Would love some advice!
