I'm really concerned after using Faiza cream for about 3 months. It cleared up all my pimples and black marks, and my skin got so fair. But now I've read online about possible side effects, like skin cancer. I'm really worried and thinking about stopping the cream. If I do, will there be any side effects or problems? Can you give me some advice on what to do?

Question

I've been having a lot of itching around my penis and testes lately. Scratching gives me temporary relief, but then it starts itching again. I've tried using Candid lotion, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm really consistent about bathing every day and even use cooling powders, yet the itchiness persists. It's pretty embarrassing because I can't stop myself from scratching in public sometimes. Also, there are visible red scratch marks between my penis and upper thighs. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do?

Question

I'm really curious about azelaic acid. Does it actually help with both active acne and the reddish-brown spots that are left after acne? I'm looking for something that can tackle both issues, and I'm wondering if this might be it.
