Can I use Betnovate-C cream to help with pimples and scars on my oily skin? I'm a bit worried because my skin tends to get really greasy, and I'm not sure if this would help or just make things worse. What would you recommend?

Betnovate is a steroid cream and should not be used for pimples or the marks caused by them

I've got a question about hair removal in sensitive areas like the genitals, testicles, and butt. Is it safe to use hair removal cream in those places for men? Can you recommend a good product that works well? I'm just a bit worried about any potential side effects or irritation.

To remove hair from the genital, testicle, and butt area using hair removal cream for men, I recommend using Veet Men Hair Removal Cream. Apply a thick, even layer of the cream on the desired areas, avoiding contact with the genitals. Leave it on for the recommended time (usually 5-10 minutes), then gently wipe off the cream and hair with a damp cloth. Make sure to do a patch test before using it on sensitive areas to avoid any adverse reactions.
