View allI keep struggling with acne on my face and back pretty much all year round. A friend mentioned I should try using MomateF cream. Is it safe or effective for back acne? What exactly does this cream do?
Momate-F cream contains Mometasone which is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling. It is primarily used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. However, it is not typically recommended for treating acne as it may not target the underlying causes of acne effectively. For acne on your back, I would recommend using a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. These ingredients are more effective in treating acne by unclogging pores, reducing bacteria, and preventing new acne breakouts. You can try using Benzac AC gel on your back acne. Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected areas once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to cleanse the area thoroughly before applying the gel. Remember to patch test any new product on a small area of skin before applying it to larger areas to check for any adverse reactions.

I'm having a lot of trouble with itching and cuts on the skin of my scrotum, even though I've tried using different ointments. It's frustrating because the skin keeps getting dry and the cuts keep coming back. What can I do to finally get rid of this dryness and heal these cuts?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've been dealing with folliculitis in my pubic area after shaving, and I've already tried using antibiotic creams and pills. It's been over three weeks now, and while the pimples seem to have improved, the issue still isn't fully resolved. Should I be worried that it's taking this long to heal? Is there anything else I can do to make it go away completely?
