I'm really struggling with acne and I've got these pimples that just won't go away. I've heard about Clop G can I use that for my acne? Also, I've got these scars from previous breakouts. Do you have any advice on how to get rid of them quickly? I'm really eager to find something that works.

Clop G cream contains Clindamycin and Clotrimazole, which can be used for treating acne and pimples. However, it is important to consult with a dermatologist before using it to determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. To help remove acne and its scars fast, you can consider using a combination of topical treatments such as Benzoyl peroxide gel in the morning and Tretinoin cream at night.

I've been dealing with some itching around my penis for the past couple of months, and it's turned into these mild red patches around there and on my lower thighs. I've tried using BETNOVATE GM cream, and it helps for a bit, but then the problem comes right back. Its really embarrassing, especially when I'm out in public. Could you suggest a cream or any other treatment that might help with this?
