Can Soframycin be used on facial pimples? Will there be any effects if I try it on a pimple? I'm really hoping someone can help me out with this.

I've been experiencing this itching problem all over my body for about 2 months now, affecting the main areas too. It's really starting to worry me. Do you have any advice on what could be causing this or how I can find some relief?
It's important to determine the underlying cause of your itching in order to provide an appropriate solution. However, based on the information provided, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help relieve the itching. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help reduce the itching sensation. If the itching persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing some white spots on my face for the past week. They're a bit rough and sometimes itchy. Usually, when this happens every couple of months, I use Clobetamil G and they go away. This time, though, it doesn't seem to be working. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What do you think might be going on?
