Can I use eumosone m cream on my face? A dermatologist suggested I use it for 20 days on my nose to help with sebaceous filaments, which haven't improved even after trying antibiotics and moisturizers. I'm just wondering if it's okay to use it like that.

I'm considering using Calosoft lotion as a moisturizer but I'm not sure if it's good for skin, especially since I have acne scars. Also, I'm trying to avoid any products with steroids. Is it safe to use? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm dealing with a really painful issue where the skin has torn on the upper middle part of my buttocks, close to the tailbone. It hurts quite a bit, and I'm uncertain about what it might be. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Could be due to a condition called a pilonidal cyst. This can cause pain and discomfort in the area. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry to prevent infection. You can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day to help with healing. Additionally, taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen can help with the pain. If the pain persists or if there are signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage of pus, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
