I'm 25 and I've been using Cloben G for a couple of months, but now that I've stopped, my face has turned red and it's super itchy with these rashes. I'm really not sure what to do next. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

This could be due to withdrawal effects or rebound effects from the steroid in the cream. To help with the redness and itching, you can try using a mild topical corticosteroid like hydrocortisone cream twice a day on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep your skin moisturized and avoid any harsh skincare products. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm experiencing some serious issues with my skin whenever I eat chicken, oily foods, milk products, and sweets. Lately, it's been getting worse, and I'm dealing with really large boils, often multiple at a time that are filled with pus. I used to take Minoz OD tablets before because a dermatologist recommended them, but I'm hoping to find something more affordable. Can you suggest any cheaper medicines that might help?
