I've been advised to start using Deriva CMS gel for my cystic acne. The issue is my wedding is on the 20th of this month, and I just started using it two days ago. A friend told me that this gel might cause more pimples at first before gradually improving acne. I'm really unsure about continuing its use with my big day coming up. Could you guide me on whether it's safe to keep using it before my wedding?

It is common for acne medications like Deriva CMS gel to cause an initial flare-up of acne before improvement is seen. This is due to the medication bringing underlying acne to the surface. However, it is important to continue using the gel as prescribed by your doctor for best results. To manage any potential flare-ups before your marriage, you can consider starting the gel at a lower frequency (e.g. every other day) and gradually increasing to daily use as your skin adjusts. Additionally, you can use a gentle moisturizer to help reduce any dryness or irritation that may occur. Overall, it is safe to continue using Deriva CMS gel as prescribed by your doctor. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions for the best outcome.

View allI'm worried because my inner thighs are a lot darker than the rest of my skin. I've heard about kojitin cream and I'm wondering if it could help lighten the area. If it works, how long would it take to see results? And if it doesn't work, is there something else I can try to even out my skin tone there?
usually it's darker than rest of the skin for almost everyone no need to worry maintain personal hygiene,if you are conscious visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've got a pretty big boil on my left calf, and after a while, it started leaking pus and blood for around 15 days. It's been about 10 days since I began using antibiotics and ointment, as my dermatologist suggested, but it still isn't healing. I change the dressing with silver sulphadiazine gel every time. I'm really worried and wondering what might be going on. Any idea why it's not improving?
Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

I'm a bit worried about my dad; he started using scabidol ointment for some antibacterial infections, but after about a week, he noticed white patches on the skin where he applied it. Is this something normal, or should we be concerned? What should we do next?
Scabidol ointment is commonly used to treat scabies and other parasitic infections. However, one of its ingredients, sulfur, can cause skin reactions, including skin depigmentation. Possible Causes of White Skin Patches 1. Chemical Leukoderma: Sulfur, an ingredient in Scabidol ointment, can cause chemical leukoderma, a condition characterized by the loss of skin pigmentation. 2. Contact Dermatitis: Your father may have developed contact dermatitis, an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in the ointment. 3. Skin Irritation: Scabidol ointment can be irritating to the skin, especially if used for an extended period. What to Do Next 1. Stop Using Scabidol Ointment: Immediately discontinue using Scabidol ointment to prevent further skin reactions. 2. Consult a Dermatologist:
