Question

I've been dealing with an acne problem and my dermatologist recommended using Topibrite cream every night. I'm just a bit concerned about using it so regularly. Is it really safe to put it on every night, or could there be any side effects I should watch out for?

Topibrite cream, containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide, is generally safe for regular nighttime use, but potential side effects like dryness, irritation, or sun sensitivity can occur, so follow your dermatologist's guidance, start with a small amount, and gradually increase as your skin tolerates it.

Question

I used Dettol on my face about a month ago, and initially, the affected area turned dark black. Now its more reddish with some black spots, and Im also having these small rash-like bumps and a bit of itching. Im wondering if this is part of the healing process? I've been using No Scars cream lately is that okay over Dettol burns, or should I try something else to help with the scarring and irritation?
