I'm having some issues with itching and the skin around my vagina has been getting darker. It's been going on for about three weeks now. I'm really looking for some advice on what might be causing this dryness and darkening, and what I can do to treat it. Any help would be appreciated.

Question

I've been dealing with a pigmentation issue and visited a dermatologist for help. They suggested I use Melapik Ever cream on my face at night. But when I woke up, my face felt itchy and had a burning sensation. After using it for a couple more days, my skin became incredibly dry, and a whitish layer appeared all over. Plus, my skin seems darker than it was before. I told the doctor about these reactions, and they advised me to stop using the cream. Is this a normal reaction? What should I do next to get my skin back to normal?

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?

Question

I'm supposed to use candid LA ointment on my penis, but the tube I have doesnt mention LA, nor does it say Candid B. Are these two different creams? Also, what's the right way to apply it? Should I retract the foreskin, apply the cream, and then put the foreskin back, or apply the cream, wash it off, and then restore the foreskin?
