I've got this melamine pigmentation issue right above my upper lip, and it's making that area look darker than the rest of my face. I tried using HH lite cream for a while, but after about 23 days, I noticed my skin there got reddish and swollen. Do you know of any other creams that might help without causing these problems? Also, I've got mixed skin, and every time I put on sunscreen, I start sweating a lot, leaving my face looking really oily and dark. Do you have any suggestions that could help out with both of these issues?

Question

I've been using benzoyl peroxide 2.5 for my acne. Do you think I should also be taking tretiva 10mg with it, or is benzoyl peroxide enough on its own to help clear up my skin? I'm just trying to figure out the best approach to treat my acne.

Question

I'm dealing with a fungal infection, and I'm really unsure about whether it's safe to use soap in the affected areas, specifically around the groin and anal ring. What should I do?
