Can I use Deriva CMS gel to get rid of whiteheads on my nose and chin? I'm really curious if it's effective or if I should try something else. Could someone help me out with this?

Deriva CMS gel contains Adapalene and Clindamycin, which are commonly used to treat acne and whiteheads. You can apply a thin layer of Deriva CMS gel on the affected areas (nose and chin) once daily in the evening. Be sure to cleanse your face before applying the gel. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

I've noticed a lump near my anus for the past few days, but it's not actually on the anus. I'm pretty sure it's not a hemorrhoid because I already have internal hemorrhoids, and this feels different. What could this lump be?

Anovate cream for local application at bedtime for 7 days, tab.ciplox tz twice daily orally for 7 days and tab levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime is advised to the patient.
