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?

I'm dealing with some intense heat issues, and it's causing these small red pimples to pop up on my face and scalp, which are quite painful. Could you recommend any solutions or treatments for this?

Question

I've got a bit of a problem with eczema on my scrotum and my dermatologist told me to use Mometasone Furoate Cream IP ELOCON every night. But when I looked it up, I read that it shouldn't be used on the groin area. It hurt a little at first but seemed to get better after that. I'm just really concerned and wondering if it's okay to keep using this cream. Could it affect sperm production since Im applying it directly on the scrotum? I'm pretty worried about this.

Question

I'm trying to figure out which ointment works best for cuts and wounds: Neosporin or T Bact? I've heard different things about both, and I'm not sure which one to go with. Could you help clear up the confusion?
