I'm a 50-year-old guy and recently I've noticed this strange fungal skin infection on my face. Is this something rare? What's the best way to treat it? Do I need to use a cream or are oral medications necessary as well?

I've been getting these cyst-like things on my waist, mostly on one side. They fill up with pus and blood and stick around for about 35 days before they finally go away. It sometimes happens under my thighs too, but not as often. It's kind of worrying me. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

I'm really struggling with acne on my face. It seems to clear up for a bit when I use ointment, but the moment I stop, it just comes back. What could be causing this and how can I manage it better?
It sounds like you may be dealing with acne that is recurring when you stop using the ointment. Paknet-C is a combination medication that contains Clindamycin and Nicotinamide, which are commonly used to treat acne. I would recommend using a gentle cleanser to wash your face twice a day, and then applying a thin layer of a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel at night. Additionally, you can continue using Paknet-C as spot treatment for active acne lesions. If your acne persists, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
