Question

I'm 21 and dealing with oily skin and a dark brown complexion. I've got pimples, blackhead scars, and these big pores from acne. Right now, I'm using Contimycin, Clinagel, and Garnier Men oil clear face wash. I'm really hoping to get whiter skin and finally get rid of this acne. Do you have any suggestions or advice on what I should try next?

To address your acne concerns and skin tone, consider adding the following to your routine: a salicylic acid-based cleanser, a benzoyl peroxide-based spot treatment, a niacinamide serum for skin brightening, and a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, while consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice and adjusting your current products as needed.

Question

I've been dealing with an acne problem and my dermatologist recommended using Topibrite cream every night. I'm just a bit concerned about using it so regularly. Is it really safe to put it on every night, or could there be any side effects I should watch out for?

Question

I have a red rash all over my back and shoulders. They're super itchy and some are pretty painful. I've been trying Dermi Cool powder, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Can you help me out with this?

Question

I've noticed a lump on the skin of my penis shaft that just appeared out of nowhere. It's not painful or itchy, which is a relief, but I'm a bit worried about what it could mean. I haven't done anything that might have caused it, except maybe I masturbated about 23 days ago. Any idea what this could be? Should I be concerned?
