Can you explain if homeopathy can really cure OCD and how long it usually takes to see results? I've been on homeopathic medicine for 5 years without success, and now I'm on allopathic medicine, which seems to be helping more. Is sticking with allopathy a better option for managing OCD?

It's essential to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
In the meantime, consider the following:
Maintain good hygiene: Clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water.
Avoid scratching or popping the pimples, as this can lead to infection.
Use a gentle, fragrance-free soap and avoid scented products.
Apply a topical antibiotic cream or an antifungal cream, as advised by your doctor.
Schedule an appointment with a gynecologist as soon as possible to determine the underlying cause.
