I'm using Deriva Cms gel for treating my acne, but I have sensitive combination skin, and I'm a bit unsure about how to go about it. Should I apply the gel just on the acne spots, or is it okay to put it on my whole face? I'm really hoping to get this right, so your advice would be super helpful!

You can use it no problem and also you can apply gently all over the face it contain retinoids which help in nourishing your skin.

I've been dealing with some white patches near my anus, and occasionally they get quite itchy. It's really frustrating, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you suggest any medicine or treatment that might help with this issue? I'm eager to find a solution soon.

The white color near your anus could be due to a fungal infection, such as candidiasis. Here's a possible solution: *Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications* 1. *Clotrimazole cream*: An antifungal cream that can help clear up the infection. 2. *Miconazole cream*: Another antifungal cream that can be effective. *Home Remedies* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. *Dry the area*: Pat dry with a clean towel. 3. *Wear loose clothing*: Avoid tight clothing that can irritate the area.
